BEAST BioE’s Alonso Torres (center) has been working diligently on the bioreactor component of the implantable bioartificial kidney with @KidneyProject Director @shuvoroy (right). They just won $1M from #KidneyX to continue their work! See article here: pharmacy.ucsf.edu/news/2023/06/s…

BioE will be hosting a session Thursday, October 20th from 3-4pm - please join us!

It was great seeing everyone at our Annual Retreat this year in Asilomar! Shoutout to retreat committee, Victoria and Rocio for making it such a success

Last week at the Joint UCB-UCSF BioE retreat organized by @BioE_Beast, I had the pleasure of attending an equity, inclusion, and belonging workshop led by the amazing @ChrissyStachl, Founder & CEO of @ReflectEquity. This is an especially needed conversation in #academia. 1/

AMAZING time at the Joint UCB-UCSF BioE retreat! So proud of everyone who made it an incredible success. Thanks for making it wonderful, @BioE_Beast ❤️

Congrats to our 2022 BioE grads! Yesterday’s commencement was so fun and inspiring ☺️@BioE_Beast

She’s done! canva.com/design/DAFAUbw… @BioE_Beast

I’m working on an admin newsletter for UCSF BioE students. What’s something you need or want to see on it? @BioE_Beast

#BEASTofTheWeek : Annabel is a 2nd year PhD student in Dr. Ian Holmes's lab at UC Berkeley. She works on building statistical and machine learning models to better characterize novel Adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsids!

Yesterday's picnic -- welcome cohort 2021!

PhD trainees: June 8, 1:15pm you'll have a chance to connect with @BerkeleyBioE alum Deb Mitra, CTO, Lucira Health. Learn about the transition from academic research to co-founding a company, career info & advice through our PIR program. Register: forms.gle/PHfRgJHNkcQsCT…

Thank you @NIGMS @NIH and the entire @BioE_Beast community for supporting our dual campus training program!

We're excited about the future of retrons as a platform biotechnology. This work was co-led by two @BioE_Beast graduate students, Santi Lopez, who took on the yeast experiments, and Kate Crawford, who handled the human cells, with a big assist from @BhattaraiKline.

Meet 2021 PDSoros Fellow, @sitaritapita! Sita is in the UCSF-UCB joint bioengineering PhD program (@BioE_Beast) and researches in the lab of @pdhsu, which has been working to develop a fast and scalable #covid19 diagnostic.

Mind blown: every single dot in this photo is a cell. 🤯 In their forthcoming JoVE video, @UCBerkeley + @UCSF researchers use DNA as “velcro” to stick cells onto surfaces, allowing them to pattern cells in any configuration. Here's @katie_cabral_ demonstrating their method!

Give some inspiration to those who inspire you! Nominate a #UCSF graduate student or postdoc for the Dean's Awards for Excellence in Mentoring. Deadline to nominate: March 19. graduate.ucsf.edu/deans-mentorin…
