A multiphoton ablation technique is combined with laser-guided angiogenesis to successfully make a 3D structure that mimics the glomerulus, a microvascular structure found in kidneys. Ying Zheng UW Bioengineering UW News Read the #openaccess article: ow.ly/p6Nk50DCwgP

🎉CONGRATS🎉 to Cierra Walker et al (Claudia Crocini Anouk Killaars, @JoeCGrim, @BrianAguado, Robin Dowell, Leinwand lab) on our new Nature Biomedical Engineering paper! We show nuclear mechanosensing drives epigenetic remodeling in myofibroblasts! BioFrontiers 💻🦠🧬🧪🧫💉📊📓 CU Boulder Engineering 🦬 nature.com/articles/s4155…

This was a fun collaboration with Danny El-Nachef! This is a super cool technology that will shed so much light on stem cells in vivo! Congrats everyone! Jen Davis

TGF-beta signaling impairs cardiac reprogramming by disrupting interactions between transcription factors and epigenetic modifier. Read more in April issue of JMCC: jmcc-online.com/article/S0022-…

New preprint! It's tough for #Microtubules to navigate a densely packed myocyte. We report that the iterative growth and stabilization of muscle microtubules is governed by #intermediatefilaments and the tubulin code, with mechobio implications. tinyurl.com/v8jmy8zk

How does TGFB stimulate collagen and SMA translation in fibroblasts? Its taken 5 years, but we finally got there: IL11/ERK/mTOR/P70S6K is the winner For believers in JAK/STAT, its not good news And we found a new MOA for Nintedanib along the way… 👍 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to see this work from my undergrad lab get published! Nice work Martha and Sean Palecek authors.elsevier.com/c/1dqaV54GVeM9…

It’s officially official! UW Bioengineering is THRILLED to welcome Dr. Princess Imoukhuede (Dr. Princess) as the Hunter and Dorothy Simpson Endowed Chair and Professor of the Department of Bioengineering, effective January 1, 2022! We look forward to your leadership! UW Engineering University of Washington

So proud of my labmate Darrian Bugg, PhD for passing her defense!

Please join us on January 11th, 2022 from 3-5 PM PST as we host W. L. Gore & Associates. Please use your UW account to RSVP below to receive the Zoom link: lnkd.in/g6_KSbtJ

"The most exciting result is showing that MBNL1 is required for fibroblasts to transition between functional states that underlie cardiac scarring." Darrian Bugg, PhD Jen Davis Cole DeForest @rossbreth Bella Reichardt UW Bioengineering UW Medicine Newsroom #heartregeneration bit.ly/3oU3Ay3

The clever people at NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end... Learn more here - svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4975 #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis #climate

I love the work I do, but wow is it hard to stay focused when you don’t make a living wage and the world is crashing and burning. #PhdChat

Kinda fun flying into Seattle on the 4th of July and seeing all the fireworks. It’s stunning how many there are.

Two new pre-prints out today from Srivastava lab where we apply single cell chromatin accessibility and transcriptomics to define mechanisms underlying congenital heart defects arising from genetic and environmental perturbations, respectively. Mine: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Call for companies! Come join us at our Fall mixer on October 26th! Attending a BioEngage mixer is a great opportunity to connect with talented students of all academic levels. Previous mixers have attracted over 150 students. Contact [email protected] for more information!

Great day for AHA Washington walk! Great turn out and excellent weather. AHA Research ISCRM at UW UW Cardiology Rong Tian, MD PhD Ruchi Kapoor Patrick M Boyle Soraya Bailey Bella Reichardt Abby Nagle

On Wednesdays, we wear flannel 💁🏻‍♀️

We are pleased to invite you to the BioEngage Fall Mixer on Wednesday, October 26th from 5-7pm in Foege Lobby! Join us on to learn more about these companies and hear about potential jobs and internships We recommend bringing several copies of your resume to this event.
