Last month: We celebrated and said farewell to our 3rd PhD student coming out from our lab: Congratulations to Mackenna Landis for successfully defending her thesis!!! Wishing her lots of new experiences in her next chapter in the UK.

[Anja Kunze, Ph.D. @TheKunzeLab]

Congratulations to Zeynep Malkoç for successfully defending her PhD thesis about #microtechnologies for #EVs, calcium hotspots, and #AD #biomarker discovery. We will miss her and wish her all the best for her next scientific steps.

[Anja Kunze, Ph.D. @TheKunzeLab]

This is what’s happening in our lab, this week: Congratulations to Mackenna for getting her paper out: Intra-axonal Nanomagnetic Forces Differentially Impact hTau40 Transport Dynamics … | ACS Nano https://t.co/R3f2AOC1nq

… And that was it, congratulations to Dr. Beck for passing his Ph.D. defense, and best wishes to your next endeavor in @KrishnaJayant lab at #Purdue university

[Anja Kunze, Ph.D. @TheKunzeLab]

That’s what’s happening today in @TheKunzeLab: amazingly proud and excited for @Connor_Beck_MSU who will defend his PhD thesis today and become the first graduate student from my lab. #neuroengineering #nanotech #stem #graduate

[Anja Kunze, Ph.D. @TheKunzeLab]

This paper shows exciting results from experiments where we applied nanomagnetic force stimulation to fully grown neuronal networks and applied short (< 5 min) stimulation periods.

And we surrounded the sun with another academic year, submitted papers, presented at conferences, taught a new cohort of #BioMEMS students #microfluidics, overcame #research and #tool challenges, and #met over delicious food many times. Next up: Finals week & summer research!

[Anja Kunze, Ph.D. @TheKunzeLab]

Shout out to our #undergraduate #researchers in @TheKunzeLab for putting in many hours to support our ideas, test new hypotheses, and help analyze large amounts of data. Celebrating their milestone and final projects at the Spring Research Symposium @montanastate @Montana_INBRE
