BurdickLab

We had a great time at the 50th Anniversary conference of @SFBiomaterials in Chicago. Photo of current lab members, as well as lab alumni and members of their groups. #SFB2025

The Burdick Lab will be at @BMESociety #BMES2025 in San Diego! Check out our talks and poster as listed here. We look forward to connecting! ☀️🌊🔬

Congrats to DR. Dhand, the latest PhD graduate from the @BurdickLab! Abhishek accomplished so much during his PhD, including spearheading new research directions in digital light processing (DLP), cardiac in vitro models, and collaborations across @CUEngineering and @pennbioeng.

Check out @crosby_sw, Abhishek, and Jonathan's Microgel-reinforced hydrogel manuscript, now out in @MacroJrnls_ACS. This method leverages both light and dark polymerization for curing to 3D print reinforced structures. Link: shorturl.at/3rgnj @BioFrontiers @CUBoulder

@thechowlab @pashucklab She was the best. And she was lucky to have had the best parents.

I am so deeply sad to share that our beloved dog Rosa passed away last night. It was unexpected and quick, which is the only thing bringing us peace. She was the best girl. We were so, so lucky to know her and love her. @pashucklab

The Burdick Lab is excited for #SFB2025-- check out our podium and poster presentations, and connect with us during the conference! See you all in Chicago 🏙️

1️⃣For years, scientists have known that mechanical tension influences cell behavior. But in our recent study in @NatureMaterials we found that it is not just the amount of tension—it is the direction! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Check out @apdhand's latest collaborative perspective, "Advances in vat photopolymerization: early-career researchers shine light on a path forward." Link: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We are beyond excited to welcome Prof. Jason A. Burdick @BurdickLab from @CUBoulder as the keynote speaker for the 15th Annual Hands-on Workshop in 3D Printing and Microfluidics for Bioengineering!

Free access to @apdhand @Fiber_Matt @BurdickLab 's recent review of Lithography-based 3D printing of hydrogels. nature.com/articles/s4422… Thank you @natrevbioeng for making this available!

This work was completed in collaboration with @HannahZlotnick, @Fiber_Matt, @riffe_morgan. Thank you to both Federal and Foundation funding: The Balsells Program, @NIH, and @SchmidtFellows.

For those interested in granular materials, hydrogel mechanics, et al. Check out @ainasolsona15 and @CaprioNiko's paper, "Measurement and Comparison of Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Mechanics Across Length Scales." Link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… @BioFrontiers @CUBoulder

Excited to share a research feature that will soon be at @TheFranklin! This work would not be possible without direct funding from @NSF @CEMB_STC @SchmidtFellows @NIH. #fundscience youtube.com/shorts/RAd4hAx…

We are thrilled to announce the Society's 2025 Award Recipients and celebrate their remarkable achievements in the field of biomaterials science. Join us in applauding the exceptional leaders who are shaping the future of biomaterials! Read more here - bit.ly/3CRnWSH

Looking forward to seeing everyone at #ORS2025! I will be presenting my postdoctoral work in the 'Crosstalk among Musculoskeletal Tissues and Beyond' session. Sunday, 4:25 - 4:35 pm, West 301D. @BioFrontiers @CUOrthoResearch @SchmidtFellows @ORSsociety

Led by @CaprioNiko, Dr. Jason Burdic (@BurdickLab), and Dr. Alex Hughes (@HughesLabPenn), @pennbioeng scientists used combinations of #MSC spheroids and hydrogel microparticles to fabricate dynamic granular composites. @ScienceAdvances ⚗️ Check it out: bit.ly/3Eekx0z

Excited to share our latest work, now out in @ScienceAdvances, led by @CaprioNiko (in collab. w/ @HughesLabPenn) developing programmable shape transformations with granular composites to produce stable curvature in engineered tissues. @NIH @CEMB_STC Link: doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

We are excited to celebrate the successful PhD defense of Dr. Nikolas Di Caprio! Niko developed novel injectable cell spheroid - microgel systems for cartilage repair and 3D printing, and contributed to numerous collaborative projects in the lab. Congrats, Dr. @CaprioNiko! 🍾

Congrats to postdoc @ManuelaGaray4 for placing at the CU close up image competition! @BioFrontiers

Happy holidays from the Burdick lab! 🏔️🌲🎁
