OML had two undergrads present at the NC State Summer Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium– Zack presented on his work with Gabby and Declan presented his work with Kyla. Great job guys!


Five Students Present at NCUR 2025
We had five students present at the 2025 National Council of Undergraduate Research conference in early April in Pittsburgh, PA. All of them talked about their work on the BPBI project.
- Brooke gave a talk titled “Development of excess extracellular collagen in biceps, subscapularis, and supraspinatus muscles following brachial plexus birth injury”
- Jason also gave a talk, titled “Evaluating Cartilage Degeneration And Glenohumeral Joint Alterations After Brachial Plexus Birth Injury”
- Josh presented a poster on his research: Effects of Brachial Plexus Birth Injury on Muscle Spindle Morphology
- Isabelle also presented a poster: Effects of Brachial Plexus Birth Injury on Bone Resorption in a Rodent Model
- Marisa presented her research: Myokine Expression in Subscapularis, Supraspinatus, and Biceps Muscles following Brachial Plexus Birth Injury






BMES 2024
The annual Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) conference was pretty nearby this year in Baltimore. Our department had a whopping 46 presenters this year, including a few from OML.



Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
We had three students present at this summer’s Symposium. They all presented on their research related to the BPBI project. Great job everyone!



Annual Undergrad Research Symposium
This year, six of our amazing undergrads were awarded funding through the Office of Undergraduate Research and presented at the annual symposium. Katie and Brooke gave talks about their work with BPBI. Josh, Brian, and Jason presented posters on their BPBI work and Carter presented a poster about his work with the Bone-on-Chip project. We love seeing the amazing work that they’re doing!






NCUR 2024
Several of our lab’s undergrads were selected to present their research at this year’s National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) Symposium. The event was in sunny southern California, and it looks like they had a great time!






Annual BME Retreat
2024 marked the 20th anniversary of the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering! We celebrated with a proper retreat at the Durham convention center.
Many of the undergrads had just returned from NCUR that morning, so they did not present at the retreat. But Claire presented a poster relating to her work with Kyla on the BPBI project.

Also there were huge standup letters that made for a great photo op!

2023 Summer OUR Symposium
OML was again well-represented at the summer OUR symposium with five posters!! We had Brian, Carter, Josh, Katie, Nic and all present the projects that they’ve been working on over the summer, and all did a phenomenal job.

Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
We had a whopping 6 undergrads present at the 2022 Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium! Or maybe only five, technically, since Christina is technically part of Kate Saul’s Lab. We’re so proud of all of them.






Spring OUR Symposium
We had two undergrads present posters at the Spring OUR (Office of Undergraduate Research) symposium. Kathryn presented her research with Sandra to optimize the Bone-On-Chip device, and Deeqa talked about her Finite Element Modeling work with Jason. Great job ladies!
