This is our 7th paper in a series of studies using microfluidics approaches to engineer tumors. Grateful to the Tumor Engineering Collaborative National Cancer Institute for their many years of support. 2/3

Mark your calendars for future faculty seminar by Susan Leggett Lab on 9/10, one of our senior postdocs and a rising star in the field! Congratulations to Susan and all the other speakers showcased in this series!

📢IT'S OFFICIAL! Introducing our 2021🌟Rising Stars in Engineering in Health, selected from 200+ applicants! Columbia BME Columbia Engineering Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons & Johns Hopkins BME are excited to welcome these emerging stars for a 2-day workshop in Nov.

Thank you Celeste! Tissue Morphodynamics Group That's very kind and generous of you to say. It's a pleasure to be a mentor/role model for the incredible people and enthusiastic scientists we have in our lab.

The Nelson group is sharing our science at #BMES2021 this week! Are you interested in signaling dynamics, tumor heterogeneity, or detecting rare cells? Check out the latest from @PayamFarahani, Susan Leggett Lab and @m_c_brennan!

Trying to decide what to do first thing on Saturday morning over a cup of coffee at #BMES2021? Learn more about engineering cell heterogeneity with Susan Leggett Lab (Cancer Technologies Virtual III) and @m_c_brennan (virtual poster)! Biomedical Engineering Society

Presenting our interactive group poster for fall 2021! So proud of our science superheroes for their efforts and creativity. Data and recordings by katie goodwin, @MPalmer_science, Sarah Paramore, PhD, Susan Leggett Lab, @m_c_brennan, @PayamFarahani plus some schematics by Sandra Lemke!

Calling all science superheroes (and superheroines) -- we're recruiting new postdocs and graduate students to join our team! Biomechanics, tissue morphogenesis, organoids, and evo/devo! Please RT to spread the word and DM if interested!

Our Science Superhero Squad is looking to expand! We have open postdoc positions to join a collaboration with Shaun Kunisaki, MD, MSc focused on the role of mechanical forces in lung development! Creative, supportive, multidisciplinary environment - please RT! 🐭🫁

A short summary about how to help your PhD students grow into greater leaders in the future. These are key points that I personally find most important: 1. Inspire them to lead their project. They should take ownership of their work. 2. Discourage them from seeing failures as

"The key to running a healthy and productive lab can be summarized in a single word: happiness." It well summaries the discussion I have with PhD students after meme-based talk - "If you are happy, you will be productive; so identify what keeps you happy". nature.com/articles/d4158…

Just over a week to go until the 2023 Biomedical Engineering Society special session on "Integrating Engineering and Physical Sciences in Oncology." Join us for speakers Dennis Discher, David Odde, Susan Leggett Lab, Q&A session, and trainee flash talks. No additional registration required! @NCIPhySci

Congratulations to Catherine Machnicki Ph.D. '23 for her recent publication on silk + 2D materials (graphene, MXene) aerogels in Nanoscale Advances! (pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…).
