We are so excited that the clinical trial for our lubricin-mimetic polymer developed in partnership with the Putnam lab and commercialized by #Pleryon was recently covered by @Inc. Thanks to all who have worked on this. @CornellEng@CornellBME@CornellMAE#osteoarthritis
Every winter, @CornellBME and @CornellEng students spend two weeks in @WeillCornell operating rooms where they turn clinician challenges into engineering solutions. Watch this (https://t.co/23wCSOAx7O) featuring @BonassarLab members Alex Griffin and Molly Matri, to learn more!
Congratulations to Dr. @FortinAiyana for defending her thesis: "Intra-articular transport, clearance, and therapeutic strategies for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis." Dr. Fortin will begin as an Ignite Fellow with the @Cornell_CTL this summer!

Great to see both new and familiar faces at last week's CAMEO retreat! Members of @HSpecialSurgery and @CornellBME connected and collaborated on bringing new ideas from benchtop research to the clinic.
Congratulations to Alikhan Fidai for his paper (DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2026.124998) in @WorldNeurosurg evaluating the safety and feasibility of intradiscal bone marrow aspirate concentrate at the time of lumbar microdiscectomy.

Proud to share: 12 @CornellBME students named recipients of prestigious @NSF National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships, recognizing outstanding research potential and leadership in STEM. Congratulations to these future innovators! https://t.co/OiNPA6U80t
@BonassarLab was excited to showcase current biomaterials and tissue engineering research to 2026's New Visions Engineering @TSTboces high school students through hands-on dissections. We're happy to encourage the next generation of engineers! @CornellBME@CornellMSE@CornellEng
The Bonassar Lab is looking for Cornell undergraduate students to work on projects mentored by our graduate students! Projects vary in topic, so please see the posted descriptions on our website. Reach out to Dr. Bonassar ([email protected]) to express interest.
Congratulations to undergraduates Alexandra Griffin and Ryan Lyppens for receiving the NSF GRFP award! Outstanding accomplishments, both of you! @CornellBME@CornellEng@NSF
So proud to see the latest @usnews graduate school rankings, where @CornellBME was ranked #9!! It has been an amazing 20+ year journey from the start of a department to a top 10 ranking. Thanks to all of the colleagues and generations of amazing students who made this possible.
Good to see both new and familiar faces at #ORS2026 in Charlotte! Thank you to the conference organizers and presenters for sharing their incredible work. @ORSSociety@CornellBME
