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.

This summer, OML participated in NC State’s Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Program. This was our first time having teachers in our lab, and we loved it! We had two science teachers — a high school science teacher and a teacher in training — join our lab for 5 weeks. They helped out with data analysis for both our BPBI project and our Bone on Chip project.

Their work culminated in a poster session on campus, and ultimately they will each write a lesson plan that will be shared on RTNN’s RET Program page.

Yay Science!

In 2023, the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) was held in Wisconsin at UW-Eau Claire. OML usually is well-represented at this event, but this year we practically took over! Brooke, Deeqa, Katie, Kathryn, Amanda, and Steven all represented OML and NC State this year. They had talks and posters and pretty much knocked it out of the park. We’re so proud!

Sandra and Kathryn recently presented their work in bone tissue engineering at the annual NC State CMI (Comparative Medicine Institute) Research & Innovation Summit. This is part of our lab’s collaboration with the Biointerface Lab, also in UNC/NCSU BME

We usually try to do a lab photo every spring, but spring of 2020 was a little different. Check out our quarantine-friendly lab “photo”, below, and also on the homepage.

Emily recently presented her ongoing research on the BPBI project. She had not one, but two posters at the annual conference.

Congratulations to Dr. Jonathan Doering, who defended today. That’s now two PhDs to come out of our lab!

Congrats to the newest #OML PhD, Dr. Jonathan Doering, who defended today, only a couple of weeks after his first child was born! #GradPack ⁦@NCStateGrad⁩ ⁦@BMEGrads⁩ ⁦@UNCNCSUBME⁩ pic.twitter.com/TIoNbqNLXR

We’d like to welcome Emily Fawcett, a new grad student who is rotating through our lab. She comes to us from NC State’s undergraduate program in BME, and we’re thrilled to have her join us!
