Stephanie presented some of our Biomechanics Day data at the American Society for Engineering Education (Southeast section) conference in early March. She gave a talk as well as had a paper in progress published as part of the conference proceedings, which you can see here: https://www.asee-se.org/proceedings/ASEE2019/papers2019/112.pdf

Our lab was well-represented at this year’s Orthopaedic Research Society annual conference in Austin, Texas. Emily somehow managed to present two posters relating to the BPBI project: “Detriments in scapular trabecular bone following brachial plexus birth injury despite injury location” and “Effect of postganglionic and preganglionic brachial plexus birth injury on muscle fibrosis”. Nicholas also had a poster about the stroke project, titled “Ischemic stroke alters blood vessel branching and size distribution in the distal femur”.

Great job guys!

Josh and Carly recently presented their work at the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (SNCURS, for short). The symposium is open to all undergraduate students enrolled in North Carolina colleges, universities and community colleges. The symposium is intended to showcase multidisciplinary undergraduate research scholarship. More info and photos can be found here: https://projects.ncsu.edu/sncurcs/

Maggie and Carly recently presented their research at the Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium at NC State.

Great job to both of you!

Nicholas and Jon both gave talks at the recent World Congress of Biomechanics conference held in Dublin. They both did great jobs representing OML on the international stage!  There was also some time for socializing with other NCSU/UNC BME labs. Our department was well-represented!

Maggie presented a poster on the rat forelimb unloading project that she and Sophie as working on at the Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium earlier today. She did a great job explaining the project’s motivation and initial results!

UPDATE: Maggie won an award for her poster! Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society, named it one of the outstanding presentations at this year’s Undergraduate Research Symposium. See the award announcement here.

Congratulations to Hannah, Sophie, and Maggie! Their abstracts have been accepted for poster presentations at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, which will be at the University of Central Oklahoma in April. Great job, guys!

At the annual American Society of Biomechanics conference, held in Boulder, Colorado August 8-11, Jacque was given the Junior Faculty Research Award. The JFRA is a grant that can be used to generate pilot data and support early-career investigators. There were nine applications this year that were each reviewed based on the significance of the problem, the scientific approach, and the impact of the project on the candidate’s research program.

Jacque’s award application is titled “Changes in the Osteovascular Niche Following Ischemic Stroke in Mice.”

Congratulations!

Jacque is pictured here with Paul DeVita, National Biomechanics Day founder and ASB member, receiving her award.

Elizabeth, Harsha, and Michael all presented on their research at the 26th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. Additionally, Elizabeth won an award for Top Presentation for her poster, titled “Validating Laser Doppler Flowmetry For In Vivo Longitudinal Measurements Of Bone Blood Perfusion”. We’re so lucky to have such amazing undergrads!
