Congratulations again to Shreya Sreedhar for winning 3rd place in the 2024 SB3C BS student paper competition!!!!

Congratulations again to Matt Culver for winning 3rd place in the 2024 SB3C MS student paper competition!!!!

Congratulations to Callyn Kozitza on her recently published paper "Estimating pulmonary arterial remodeling viaananimal‑specific computational model ofpulmonary artery stenosis" in Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology! Check it out: rdcu.be/dLUzQ

Thank you to the The Children's Heart Foundation The Children's Heart Foundation for inviting us to bring our STEM booth to the Milwaukee Congenital Heart Walk! We had a fun day of biomechanics while raising money for this important cause!

Check out Daniel Pearce’s latest paper, "Evaluation of an Inverse Method for Quantifying Spatially Variable Mechanics!" If you love biomechanics and cutting-edge techniques, this one's for you! Head over to JBME to dive into the details: asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/biomechanical/…

Full house at Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab Dr. Colleen Witzenburg's excellent talk today on models for cardiovascular growth, remodeling, and heterogeneity, as part of our UArk BME Seminar Series!

A big thank you again to Kartik for the invitation and the wonderful visit. Thank you UArk BME!

🚨New paper alert🚨- excited to share our publication in the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Material (authors.elsevier.com/a/1k3c06EHNesg…) Great work from Daniel Pearce and Michael Chiariello on the impact of sample shape on shear force and strain during biaxial testing!

The Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab (cbl.engr.wisc.edu) is currently seeking motivated individuals with interests in computational modeling, biomechanics, and advanced analysis for PhD Graduate Research Assistantships. Come join us in Fall 2025!

Great way to start off 2025! Elated to announce that the NIH @NIGMS has awarded our lab a 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀' 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 on Regional Extracellular Matrix Remodeling: Multiscale Imaging and Mechanics!

Calling all undergraduate researchers! Consider joining our team for the summer through UW-Madison's Cardiovascular Research Center Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship Program (cvrc.wisc.edu/cvrc-fellowshi…). This 10-week research experience includes a $6,000 stipend.

Honored to be selected for an Additional Ventures Expansion Award (additionalventures.org). Graduate student Ashley Hiebing will spearhead the research titled "Simulating Staged Ventricular Recruitment: Assessing Ventricular Growth in Patients with Borderline Left Heart."

🚨New paper alert🚨- excited to share our publication in the Journal of Biophotonics (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40051274/) Great work from Shreya Sreedhar and Daniel Pearce on the dynamic full-field structure of aortic and pulmonary valve leaflets! Congratulations!

I'm honored and excited to share that my NSF CAREER proposal, "CAREER: Remodeling Drives Spatial Variations in Soft Tissue Mechanics and Multiscale Structure," has been selected for funding! Learn more about the work here: engineering.wisc.edu/news/with-care…

🚨New paper alert🚨- excited to share our publication in Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology (link.springer.com/article/10.100…). Great computational modeling from Ashley Hiebing and Matt Culver identifying persistent vascular remodeling following correction of aortic coarctation!

🎉 Congratulations to Rhea Nagori on an outstanding poster presentation at the Undergraduate Symposium! Rhea, a 2024 Sophomore Research Fellowship recipient, is conducting innovative research on quantitative polarized light imaging. We’re excited to see where her work leads next!

🎉 Congratulations to our 2025 Undergraduate Research Fellowship recipients: 🔹 Maribel Glodowski – Hilldale Research Fellowship 🔹 Sudhi Chavadam, Natalie Miller, and Amber DuVal (not pictured) – Sophomore Research Fellowships Excited to see them pursue their projects this year!

🎓 Congratulations 𝗗𝗿. 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲! 🥳 The Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab is thrilled to celebrate 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲’s PhD defense! In all the excitement, we missed the official photo—but managed to capture a great candid moment with the biaxial testing system!

Headed to the 2025 ASME SB3C Summer Bioengineering Conference (#SBC2025) in Santa Ana Pueblo, NM? Don’t miss presentations from Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab PhD candidates Callyn Kozitza and Cate Eberman!

The Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab at #SBC2025! 🫀🎉 Callyn Kozitza gave an insightful talk on pulmonary artery modeling, and Cate Eberman presented a strong poster on myocardial remodeling post-infarction. #UW-MadisonBME #CBLatSBC #WitzenburgLab
