It is a happy day that Matt passed the doctoral qualifier exam. Congratulations, Matt! Now on to the next mission.
Professor Ryan Petrie Visits
Our collaborator Prof. Ryan Petrie from Drexel University, visited Hopkins and gave a special seminar entitled “high intracellular pressure promotes epithelial tissue integrity”. Many cell motility aficionados showed up at the talk to hear the latest development on the frontier of understanding how cells move. We had a great time discussing hot science in cold weather!
Ed Wins Best Poster Award at INBT Undergraduate Research Symposium
Ed presented his research project of developing high-throughput force measurement techniques at the annual Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology undergraduate research symposium. He won the best poster award with a cash prize. Congratulations, Ed!

Matt’s Paper Is Accepted
Matt’s paper “3D-printed magnetic tweezers for dorsal traction force measurement” has been accepted to be published at the journal Biotechniques. Congratulations, Matt. We look forward to many more papers to come shortly!
Seungman Wins 2018 Maryland Stem Cell Research Foundation Award
Seungman’s proposal to develop implantable cardiac patches to treat heart failures has won the MSCRF postdoc fellowship (http://www.mscrf.org/content/awardees/2018Awardees.php). Seungman will be investigating how to improve the treatment outcome for heart failure patients by establishing standardized quality control protocols for clinical applications of 3D printed cardiac patches. We congratulate Seungman for his outstanding accomplishment and are reminded of his tireless efforts in biomechanical research.
