Grateful to have had the opportunity to help drive this project!

New pre-print from our group! Local photo-crosslinking and stiffening of ECM proteins within ex vivo tissues to probe lung epithelial cell function: https://t.co/4Z8j30kq5U Led by @_Donia_Ahmed5 & @MattLTan and huge team effort with @BakerLaboratory @RachelZemans @nanocartilage

[Loebel Lab @ClaudiaLoebel]

Excited for Avinava @AvinavaR and Katie Wei and their recent work published in @CMBEjournal! A cool collaboration with the Shtein lab @mshtein @UMengineering on kirigami-inspired hammocks to mimic lung alveoli https://t.co/GVOT5RxqT7

A little late on this, but happy with the way this final first-author paper from my PhD turned out! It was a great opportunity to integrate a diverse set of tools from across disciplines. Thanks again to everyone who helped out with this!

One final paper from @FischbachLab in 2023! @MattLTan et al. investigated changes in tumor cell metabolism that occur during invasion toward engineered microvessels using metabolic imaging, metabolomics, and flux balance analysis. Read it here: https://t.co/BLgc7pRg9p

Happy to share our recent review article on mechanical forces in cardiopulmonary development and disease: https://t.co/E4Um48AkEp - led by @_Donia_Ahmed5 + @MadelineEiken. Wonderful collaboration with @BakerLaboratory @TheSpenceLab @RachelZemans and Adam Helms! @iScience_CP

Matrix mineralization is important for bone health but how it regulates metastatic tumor growth was unknown. Siyoung Choi and @Matt_AWhit @CornellBME now found that bone matrix mineralization inhibits tumor growth with an interesting twist!

Woke up to exciting news in my inbox this morning! I received the official Notice of Award for my NRSA / F31 application from @theNCI. Looking forward to pursuing this project on the role of adipocytes in breast cancer for the remainder of my time @CornellBME

[Claudia Fischbach @fischbcl17]

Heterogeneity of cancer is linked to its physical properties! Glad to see @GarrettBeeghly and @adshimpi1 @CornellBME review published. With contributions from our own @NCIPhySci patient advocate @bobriter

[Brittany @BritSchutrum]

Hi @NCIPhySci trainees, The PS-ON community is applying to host a Special Session at the 2023 BMES annual meeting. If you are a trainee attending BMES interested in giving a flash talk please fill out this interest form https://t.co/Y42jD89k81

Pls join me in congratulating Dr @R_E_Stephenson who defended her thesis about contextual regulation of macrophages and made our lab a better place @CornellBME @FischbachLab

[Nicole Sempertegui @ndsempertegui]

Thank you so much for the support @BCCRoc! This grant will help advance my research on breast cancer bone metastasis in the @FischbachLab 🦴🤩!

[Matt Tan @MattLTan]

Last weekend I graduated from Cornell, celebrating with my family and friends in @FischbachLab. As this chapter comes to a close, I am excited to continue my research career as a postdoc with @ClaudiaLoebel. Thank you again to everyone who has supported me!

[Fischbach Lab @FischbachLab]

Congrats to our five graduating PhD students who walked this weekend at @CornellBME commencement! We are so proud of you all and can’t wait to see what you will accomplish next 🐠

[Claudia Fischbach @fischbcl17]

Congratulations Dr. @adshimpi1 on an incredibly successful PhD. What an enjoyable experience it’s been having you in the lab and @CornellBME

[Fischbach Lab @FischbachLab]

We got to celebrate as a lab with farewell drinks last night! Can you guess who is graduating? 🤔

[Matt Tan @MattLTan]

Thank you for the kind words @fischbcl17 ! And thank you to everyone who shared this moment with me. I will definitely miss everyone in @FischbachLab and @CornellBME !

[Claudia Fischbach @fischbcl17]

Proudly presenting Dr @MattLTan - what a treat listening to his presentation about metabolic regulation of tumor invasion! @FischbachLab @CornellBME will miss him a lot!!!

[Fischbach Lab @FischbachLab]

How many PhD students does it take to carve a pumpkin? We found out by celebrating Halloween together as a lab! See the video of our designs (spooky and otherwise) below 🎃

[Fischbach Lab @FischbachLab]

We are at #BMES2022 this week in San Antonio! Make sure to catch our talks from @Matt_AWhit @_Shoolaa @BritSchutrum. Thanks to @BMESociety and @CornellBME. Details are below 👇

[Fischbach Lab @FischbachLab]

Congrats to our own @R_E_Stephenson for receiving an @NIH @NIBIBgov T32 Immunoengineering Training Grant. This grant will support Regan's work examining how fibrillar collagen influences macrophage phenotype in the context of breast cancer. Way to go Regan!

[Fischbach Lab @FischbachLab]

It's official! Fischbach Lab is on Twitter. We'll be posting research updates, outreach opportunities, and other lab shenanigans on this account. Run by the group members below 🐠

[Matt Tan @MattLTan]

Glad to have finally put this out, it's been a long time coming! Incredibly grateful to our collaborators for enabling us to take such a multidisciplinary approach.
