The past few months have been brimming with exciting news. From breakout BMES presentations to thoughtful thesis proposals, here’s a look at what the lab’s students have accomplished this academic year.
The BMES conference last fall allowed many members of the lab to present their cutting-edge research to a wide audience of scientific minds. From undergraduate to graduate students, here are the people who made a splash at the 2024 BMES conference held in Baltimore, Maryland:
Pieper Holeman presented his work on placenta transport, specifically looking at sexually dimorphic in vitro models. Amal Shabazz, Lexi Christensen, and Ryan Felix are three other graduate students who participated in the poster session. Undergraduates Laena Nho and Sarang Han presented work related to their independent study and summer lab work.

More recently, Ryan Felix successfully proposed his thesis, officially making him a PhD candidate. More information about Ryan’s Machine Learning project can be found in the Research section of the website.
Shannon McLaughlin also published her second paper and is on her way to publishing her third. We wish Shannon the best of luck as she prepares to defend her thesis later this spring.
