Matt was selected for Travel Award to attend American Society of Cell Biology Annual Meeting at San Francisco in December. Matt’s winning project is high-throughput measurement of sub-pN forces generated by motile cells. It is a rare honor for undergraduate students. We are psyched to have Matt going to the City by the Bay with us.
Debonil Wins ASCB Travel Award
Debonil was selected for Travel Award to attend American Society of Cell Biology Annual Meeting at San Francisco in December. Debonil studies the effects of hydrostatic pressure changes on the ECM and cells. We congratulate Debonil to be recognized for his good work.
Jenny Is Invited to Give a Talk at ASCB Microsymposium
Jenny is invited to present her work at the microsymposium of ASCB Annual Meeting at San Francisco in December about the micromolding method she developed to culture cells in arbitrary 3D geometries. It is a rare honor for undergraduate students. Way to go, Jenny!

Bye Yancheng
We said goodbye to our beloved summer intern Yancheng Du today and had a farewell lunch at Gertrude to wish him the best before he heads home to Tsinghua University, China, to finish his last year of undergraduate study in Mechanical Engineering and Finance. Yancheng joined the MG task force team in July and has been very productive working together with Jenny and Seungman.
Best of luck and we hope we can see you again very soon!

Summer Outing
We ventured to Harper’s Ferry for our first group outing outside Maryland. Despite the 100 degree heat we braved the nature and hiked for a mile with Prof. Sung Hoon Kang and his group.
We had been psyched all week for the outing .
We enjoyed the scenery, good lunch at the rustic Country Cafe and ice cream!
We had fun at Harper’s Ferry.

Space Grant
We are happy that we are selected for the seed grant from space@Hopkins to study the effects of microgravity on tissue mechanics.
Many happy faces at today’s lab meeting.
Good job Brian!
Summer Fun with Prof. Kang
Our collaborator Prof. Sung Hoon Kang, also known as the mastermind of 3D printing in the MG task force, is going away for a short vacation.
We already miss him so we decided to make a card (and stick it on his office door) to show our love and appreciation for being the best collaborator in the whole universe.
Have a nice trip, Sung Hoon!
