@vblpitt representing at #Vasculata 2025! @DavidVorp giving a presentation on our tissue engineered vascular grafts and aneurysms, and posters from lab members @KJ_Mcloughlin @i_chickanosky Amanda Pellegrino and Priyasha Itani showcasing the range of work performed in our lab!

[Vorp Lab @PittVbl]

Congrats to VBL Postdoc, Dr. Kiran McLoughlin on winning Best Poster at the University of Pittsburgh 2025 Postdoctoral Research Symposium!

His presentation was titled “EV’s and silk fibroin can deliver and enhance the therapeutic efficiency of multiple cell populations”

A huge congrats to DR. Ande Marini @Marini_Ande on a successful and wonderful PhD thesis defense. It has been a pleasure to watch her grow. Ande’s leadership and collaborative nature will be sorely missed in the @PittVbl and I know she will do well as a post-doc at @Stanford.

🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations to Doctor Ande Marini! @Marini_Ande @PittVbl Hello Kitty-Roc was a perfect reference 👍. I know you're bound for success and I feel privileged to have had you with the group since 2019.

[David Vorp @DavidVorp]

Fun being the @cmu_bme seminar speaker today. We’re next door neighbors/collaborators but don’t always take the time to slow down and really visit with each other. Today we did. Thanks to @PittVbl for surprising me with your presence as I presented your amazing collective work.

[Vorp Lab @PittVbl]

Great talk this morning by @DavidVorp at CMU’s BME seminar!

[Vorp Lab @PittVbl]

Great talks by @KatKerr6 and @Marini_Ande from @PittBioE at @AppliedCVB ‘s 19th biennial meeting in Vienna! #womeninstem

[St. Hilaire Lab @StHilaireLab]

Great science from @PittVbl @PittBioE presented at #ISACB24 @AppliedCVB! Sex-differences in AAA 👏🏻👏🏻

[Vorp Lab @PittVbl]

Our team had a great visit today with our collaborators @CMUEngineering and @RoosterBio. Great to see their lab space and see all of the progress we’ve made together!

[SB3C Organizers @SB3Corg]

Congratulations to all the winners of the MS-level Student Paper Competition at #SB3C2024!

[Vorp Lab @PittVbl]

Congratulations to @Marini_Ande for winning runner up at @PittTweet’s Three Minute Thesis Contest!

WATCH: Bioengineering's @DavidVorp was inspired by his wife and his PhD student to create the multidisciplinary Hub for #Endometriosis Research (HER) to tackle research and advocacy for this incredibly common yet severely understudied disease: https://t.co/2shUuchkXv

Excited to have this published in Nature's Scientific Reports! We use machine learning methods to predict future outcomes for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms based on data collected on them today. #AAA #AI #MachineLearning

[timechg @timechg]

Some good news for the x-verse! Our publication in scientific reports has been published exploring image-based metrics and patient outcomes using AI techniques: https://t.co/PXhum1HrqB @DavidVorp @nlliang @PeteGueldner @PittVbl

[Nathan Liang MD MS @nlliang]

I’m thrilled that @VascularOnline is highlighting our ongoing work through @aneurisk_inc. Predicting aortic aneurysm growth and rupture is challenging but the clear next step in improving our understanding and treatment @timechg @DavidVorp https://t.co/uznOANaEXM

[Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation @MageeWomens]

Endometriosis affects approximately 11% of women in the U.S., yet it is severely understudied. Enter, the Hub for Endometriosis Research, a first-of-its-kind research collaboration by Magee-Womens & @PittEngineering. What is HER? Find out: https://t.co/UIhzGKs2K7

[David Vorp @DavidVorp]

Check out the cover story for the current #Magee Magazine! #Endometriosis is such a tragically understudied and #underfunded condition that impacts so many women around the world. @MageeWomens @UPMC @PittTweet @PittResearch @PittBioE

[David Vorp @DavidVorp]

Really proud of my PhD student @i_chickanosky for taking first prize in her pitch at the PDMA competition last night for our project #EndoDx! We will soon make a difference for women suffering from #endometriosis !!
