THIS GIRLIE IS TENURED @TAMU! 💁🏽♀️
Tenacity and courage brought me to this moment of celebration - impactful science, organic community, and learning by teaching! 🙌🏽
Propped up by strong mentors and exceptional students - what a wild but humbling trial by fire @bmentamu! 😍
#OvarianCancer Awareness Day at @TAMU led by our Board Member & 28 year Ovarcomer Betty and Dr. @LabRaghavan - keep sharing the B.E.A.C.H. symptoms of ovarian cancer:
B=Bloating
E=Early Satiety
A=Abdominal &/or Pelvic Pain
C=Changes in Bowel/Bladder Habits
H=Heightened Fatigue
Whoop! 🙌 Nearly 1,200 people joined A Day at the B.E.A.C.H. at @TAMU Engineering featuring
🏖️ Beach Balls with ovarian cancer facts
🏖️ B.E.A.C.H. cards & bracelets
🏖️ Spirit of Ovarcoming from 28-year OVARCOMER Betty🩵
Thank you Dr. @LabRaghavan & @AggieFootball!🙏 #Ovarcome
A third PhD defense from the Raghavan Lab, it's @ClaudiaConvo 's turn next!
She defends a significant body of work on how neuro-immune crosstalk disrupts colon motility, in #GulfWarIllness impacting long-term #VeteranHealth
Claudia Collier & co show that exposure to a chemical linked to Gulf War illness can change how the colon moves by affecting the nerves and immune cells that help control gut function. https://t.co/274broyHd2
Led by Oscar Benavides and @SabrinaVH_ , with a team of grad students and undergrads to make this happen over many years!
dECM scaffolds are amazing, but wouldn't it be better if we can actually see through its entire volume to map cell-biomaterial interactions? 😍
Out now in @BioMaterSci - https://t.co/yXzKOIyBtY cross-pollinating Raghavan lab, @WalshLab_TAMU and @DanielAlge labs- a new optical clearing - light sheet microscopy based full volume imaging and automated analysis pipeline to see deep in decell ECM scaffolds!
Read more about this research in our 'First person' interview with Claudia Collier, a PhD candidate in @LabRaghavan's lab, interested in the intersection of using tissue engineering models to investigate neuro-immune interactions. https://t.co/Pfu4vYdyxM
