We are excited to share our latest work this week at #BMES2023 in Seattle! Check out @FortinAiyana‘s talk tomorrow at 4:30 PM @BMESociety@CornellBME

Congrats to Aiyana Fortin @FortinAiyana on her acceptance into the WE Cornell program for Women Entrepreneurs at Cornell! She will be taking the next steps to commercialize the C’ Dot nanotechnology for osteoarthritis. @BonassarLab @GroupWiesner @CornellBME @CornellMSE

So excited that @KVish1995‘s article in @JOrthopRes (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35384042/) on lubrication of cartilage using polyacrylamide hydrogels was selected as an Editor’s Pick. Congrats, Karan! #cartilage #osteoarthritis #lubrication@CornellBME@CornellMSE

Congratulations to Leigh Slyker on his paper “Alginate Conjugation Increases Toughness in Auricular Chondrocyte Seeded Collagen Hydrogels” published in@Bioeng_MDPI (https://mdpi.com/2306-5354/10/9/1037…). #collagen #biomaterials #tissueengineering@CornellBME

Congratulations to Dr. Sean Kim for defending his thesis titled: “Mechanically Informed Design Controls For Tissue Engineered Cartilage Biofabrication: Importance of Micro Failure, Architecture, and Composition.” Sean is now a Senior Research Associate at Ark Biotech.

So excited to be the recipients of an @NSF LEAP HI award, working with Profs. Dave Putnam @CornellBME, Heidi Reesink @cornellvet , Matt Paszek @Cornell_CBE, and Roberto Andresen-Eguiliz @UCMEngineering to design, synthesize, and test new biolubricants. #lubrication @CornellMAE To read more about… Continue Reading →

Happy 45th birthday to the CU-HSS program in Biomechanics (ie CAMEO https://hsscameo.engineering.cornell.edu) founded June 16, 1978! So proud to be a part of this amazing tradition that includes 4@ORSsociety presidents and 3 Kappa Delta awards. Here’s to the next 45 years!… Continue Reading →

Congratulations to Caroline Thompson, Alikhan Fidai, and Alicia Matavosian for successfully passing their candidacy exams and receiving M.S. degrees in Biomedical Engineering!

Congrats to Caroline Thompson (https://linkedin.com/in/carolinebikes/…) on her NYSTEM-funded Stem Cell Program training fellowship! She will be collaborating with @DelcoLab to enhance mitochondrial transfer from MSCs for arthritis therapy. #SupportNYSTEM @CornellBME #osteoarthritis #mitochondria

Congratulations to Sean Kim on his article in @JBiomech describing how local mechanical instabilities influence cell survival in tissue engineered cartilage (https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021929023001604…)! #cartilage #biomechanics @CornellBME @CornellMAE
