Congrats to @autumn__greco for winning Best Talk at today's @cubridgephd symposium! Autumn presented on two years of work on next-generation therapeutics for vascular and dermal regeneration. We are excited to see what you accomplish next at @JHUBME!

[Columbia BME @ColumbiaBME]

What happens when you gather 500 faculty, researchers, and students from 75+ institutions, all of whom are passionate about biomedical engineering, and put them together on one campus? #NEBEC2022 is what! Read the event recap + view the photo gallery now! https://t.co/FJlDSEjDWR

[Columbia BME @ColumbiaBME]

Our own @ColumbiaBME PhD student Abigail Ayers @abigail_ayers_ in Prof. Sam Sia's lab @SiaBME attended the #NEBEC2022 conference and created some awesome conference prep toolkits 💡🔧 for our audience. Check them out!

[Abigail Ayers @abigail_ayers_]

A little late, but excited to share our recent paper, "Rapid video-based deep learning of cognate versus non-cognate T cell-dendritic cell interactions", published in @SciReports. Proud of the work that went into this! @SiaBME Check it out here: https://t.co/pmtdSWGPwk
