Teamwork makes the dreamwork by amazing co-first authors #ColleenO'Connor Ph.D. and @FanZhang_zzZ and collaborators @daniela_witten, @LizWaynePhD and @coledeforest Thx @SheilaChari for constructive review (4/4).

Read more in lay write-up here from @uwiscrm @uwmedicine (3/4):

Before we tissue engr's used to ask, what biomaterial is best for in vivo grafting? What cells types are needed for tissue fxn? Now we can do in vivo studies to address such questions rapidly. Expts that before took >2 yrs & 100's of mice now take 1 month & 8 mice (2/4).

Taking a breath w new paper announcement. Bioprinted platform for parallelized screening of engineered tissue formulations in mice (1/4). See paper in @CellStemCell here:

No words.

Check out the @UWBioE booth at #ABRCMS2024! Come learn about our MS, PhD programs as well as our open faculty search!

Happy Halloween! 👻 A patterned arrangement of photos, each of an analytical balance/scale that is colored gray? Or, perhaps... a "grayscale photopattern"? (costume inspired by our lab's recent work here: https://t.co/5QJmZDschS)

In Genetics class this week we explored the history of our field & its roots in Eugenics. I used it to frame the question: Should scientists just “Stay in the lab” or is it our duty to speak out when others lie about our science & use it to further their own political views? 1/n

Calling all faculty candidates (postdocs, Asst Profs, senior grad students) - Apply to @UWBioE! Job ad at link below. If you are considering applying and have questions on the ad, please email or DM me. Come join us, UW is amazing!
