Introducing, DR. Sahani! @myofibridhi gave a “breath”-taking PhD defense describing her research combining multi-scale models and experiments to reveal how ECM structure influences diaphragm muscle mechanics. Her research is making “waves” in the research community! @UVABME

In this recent study, researchers from @UVA review the nutritional immunity challenges faced by N. gonorrhoeae, discuss how N. gonorrhoeae overcomes nutritional immunity for successful infection, and open questions for future investigation. Read it here: https://t.co/U4qgKKnzLs
