Maggie and Carly recently presented their research at the Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium at NC State.
Great job to both of you!
Maggie’s poster focused on her recent work with BPBI in rats: “Brachial Plexus Birth Injury Alters Muscle Composition”.
Carly presented on her work with Jon, “The Effects of Aging on Cellular Proliferation and Protein Signaling in a Bone-Muscle Crosstalk System in Rats”.
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!
Nicholas did a great job presenting his talk and poster at the recent Orthopaedic Research Society meeting in San Diego!
Four of our undergrads had abstracts accepted AND received travel awards to present at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) at the University of Memphis in April!! Congrats, Elizabeth, Harsha, Michael, and Sophie!
Jacque, Jon and Nicholas all travelled to Minneapolis for the annual Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) meeting. Both Jon and Nicholas were selected for talks, and they did a great job!
Elizabeth presented her research at the 25th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium at NC State. Her poster was titled “Obesity and Exercise-induced Bone Microarchitecture Changes are Associated with Bone Blood Perfusion in Mice”.
