Congratulations to everyone! It's an honor to be included in this group.

Check out our new paper in @ActaBio! We compared the angiogenic potential of natural and synthetic hydrogels and found porosity to be a critical regulator. We then designed an approach to imbue microporosity in synthetic hydrogels to enhance angiogenesis. authors.elsevier.com/a/1dkGC6CFjZIb…

Emulate proudly endorses the FDA Modernization Act, which would end pharmaceutical development’s longstanding reliance on animal models by allowing researchers to utilize modern, human-relevant models. bit.ly/3BXqpWd #clinicaltesting #fda #organchips

We're hiring engineers looking to apply modeling and fabrication skills to biology. We have positions for grad students and postdocs, but we're also looking for technicians. See job posting below: unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/200788

Congrats to Alex and her team at @GSK and @TESAROBIO on approval for Niraparib in the frontline ovarian cancer setting! Amazing work from the >700 patients and thousands of doctors involved and great news for ovarian cancer patients.

Congratulations @JoannaMcDonald_ for an excellent Abrams Scholar presentation. We're all looking forward to seeing the cool things you'll do in the next stage of your scientific career at MGH!

Congrats to the newest PhD candidate from the Brown lab Eunice Chee! A successful virtual proposal! @UNCNCSUBME @KeChengLab @PolacheckLab

Awesome to see members of the lab making a difference. Thanks @ChristianG_BME !

Congratulations @tanmay_khare for an awesome masters thesis defense! Great to see Tanmay and his @ncstatemae colleagues developing new mechanical models for biological applications.

We're looking for scientists with a background in molecular and cell biology who are interested in engineering to help us make new experimental tools. We have open positions at the PhD candidate and postdoc level. For details, check out: polachecklaboratory.com/join
