We had a great time at the 50th Anniversary conference of @SFBiomaterials in Chicago. Photo of current lab members, as well as lab alumni and members of their groups. #SFB2025
Congrats to DR. Dhand, the latest PhD graduate from the @BurdickLab! Abhishek accomplished so much during his PhD, including spearheading new research directions in digital light processing (DLP), cardiac in vitro models, and collaborations across @CUEngineering and @pennbioeng.
Check out @crosby_sw, Abhishek, and Jonathan's Microgel-reinforced hydrogel manuscript, now out in @MacroJrnls_ACS. This method leverages both light and dark polymerization for curing to 3D print reinforced structures.

The Burdick Lab is excited for #SFB2025-- check out our podium and poster presentations, and connect with us during the conference! See you all in Chicago 🏙️
1️⃣For years, scientists have known that mechanical tension influences cell behavior. But in our recent study in @NatureMaterials we found that it is not just the amount of tension—it is the direction!
