We are very happy to learn that through a competitive process, Jeyani has been selected to receive Summer Training And Research (STAR) funding for Summer 2017. Jeyani will study how cardiac tissues function in various stress imposed by space travel during the summer. Congratulations Jeyani!

Photo-Op
Responding to the popular demand, Brian, Jeyani and Yun participated in a photo-op at SOM.
It turns out playing models who pretend to do experiments is harder than doing the experiments ourselves. It’s a first for everybody. What an experience!
Brian thinks he will stick to modeling tissue formation and put on hold his professional career of modeling FOR tissue formation for the time being.
