Congrats to Anna Le and Bobby Smallwood for presenting some of their work so far at the Fall UG Research Fair.

Anna discussed the Vascular Contrast Agent development to date and  her future plans to better characterize in vivo effectiveness as well as investigate delivery strategies and gelation dynamics with microfluidics!

Bobby presented the micrct results for osteoarthritis development in genetically heterogeneous male mice treated  with estrogen 17a, a promising new form of estrogen treatment that extends life- and health-span without development of feminizing features.

Looking forward to their further progression this academic year (and beyond)!

We’d like to welcome all of the new members of the lab! We are very excited to have Kaitlyn Cimney, Jacob Barnes, Lauren Ferguson, Anna Le, Devin Medved, and CJ Replogle join the lab.

Kaitlyn graduated from Clemson University in 2023 and has joined the lab to pursue a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering. She will be working primarily on characterizing the Masquelet Induced Membrane.

Jacob, Lauren, Anna, Devin, and CJ are all working towards their undergraduate degrees in the biomedical engineering department. They will be participating in RNA sequencing, micro-CT analysis, data analysis, microfluidics, and rodent care throughout the operative process.

Learn more about everyone on our People Page.

Very proud to see our very own Allison Smith recognized as a 2023 Outstanding Scholar-Athletes!

…. Not that we didn’t already know she’s awesome. 🙂

Beyond excited to introduce the lab’s newest member, Kell Sprangel!

We did it! We actually started a website!

This will be a place for us to share what we’re up to, showcase who’s contributing, and celebrate our successes! (… and maybe share some failures.)

We hope you enjoy it, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any inquiries. 

In my 8.5 years at Saint Louis University, I always felt a little inhibited by not having a website for people to check out. Can’t believe I finally made it happen in only 3.5 months at OSU!
