Bertassoni Lab

Congratulations Dr. Avi Athirasala on your outstanding #defense! An exceptional job by an exceptional person. We are so very proud of you. @OHSU_BME @OHSUSOM @OHSUdentistry @avathamsa #WomenInSTEM #Engineering

.@BertassoniLab's chip-based system mimics key components of the bone environment, such as mineral matrix, osteoblasts, osteoclasts and blood vessels. This enables the team to leverage previously developed technologies and offers a powerful research tool: bit.ly/4me4ksO

Authors, Christie Dudenhoefer and @BertassoniLab say when the federal government decides which tech hubs to fund, Oregon's history of collaboration should make us more competitive. For more on @OHSUKnight's collaborative work with @HP and @OregonState ⤵️ bit.ly/3XkXYPa

In their article, @BertassoniLab & team present a scalable bioprinting strategy for injectable and pre-vascularized microgels. The microgels made with this method allow rapid connection of engineered human vessels for accelerated tissue regeneration. 👉ow.ly/PJLl50PJa6i

“The funds will help the lab expand its work using 3D printers, with the aim of doing everything from healing major bone injuries, personalizing cancer treatments and even building full-sized functional organs for transplant.” - @BertassoniLab (via @OPB): spr.ly/6019PHxKR

“It’s if you had a big puzzle — and cancer is a big puzzle — and you can now separate each one of those pieces and see what each one of those pieces are doing.” - @BertassoniLab on funding that will bring state-of-the-art technologies to @OHSUKnight: spr.ly/6016Otcby

Here is the official job listing: postdoctoral-ohsu.icims.com/jobs/18146/pos…

We are #hiring a #postdoc to join our team at the Knight Cancer Precision Biofabrication Hub. Please RT and reach out for further details! @OHSUKnight #OHSUCEDAR

The scientists at @OHSUNews' @BertassoniLab envision a future where organs can be printed on demand for transplantation.

Achievement Rewards for College Scientists Scholars and grad students in our lab, @HaylieHelms & @Sofia_Vignolo, gave tours of the @OHSUKnight #Cancer Precision Biofabrication Hub to @ARCSFoundation #Oregon Chapter members. @OHSUNews @OHSUSOM @OHSU_BME #WomenInScience #OHSUCEDAR

Season 2 of @opb's digital #northwest science series "All Science. No Fiction." premiers tomorrow! The first episode focuses on biofabrication work happening at @OHSUKnight in Portland. This science is 🤯🤯🤯 @OHSUNews

OPB’s “All Science. No Fiction.” with @radiojes begins its second season, exploring Helms’ work and the lab’s next step: scaling up from producing a few cells to millions. opb.org/article/2023/0… 6/6

Dr. Luiz Bertassoni presenting on developments and opportunities of micro-engineered models of cancer on-a-chip at the @OHSUKnight #Cancer #Research Seminar. @OHSU_BME @OHSUSOM @OHSUdentistry @OHSUNews #OHSUCEDAR

It is a bittersweet feeling to have @elisalimaverde give her final presentation. We feel very fortunate to have you as part of our team this past year. Não foi uma despedida, foi um "nos vemos em breve"! 🇧🇷

Dr. Avathamsa Athirasala is officially Ph.inishe.D with her graduate studies. Proud of you! #PhDone #WomenInSTEM
