Krishna Jayaram awarded with the Clare Boothe Luce Undergraduate Research Award
Congratulations to TGF lab undergraduate student Krishna Jayaram for being awarded the Clare Boothe Luce (CBL) Undergraduate Research Fellowship. Her research currently focuses on optimizing an in vitro model of osteoarthritis to recapitulate cartilage degradation under inflammatory conditions. As a CBL scholar, Jayaram receives two years of funding for her UG research as well as conference travel. The funding is offered on behalf of the Henry Luce Foundation and the Rossin College and supports women seeking to study or teach science, engineering, and mathematics. It is awarded to those with excellence and motivation in academics and research during their undergraduate studies.
Dr. Gonzalez-Fernandez selected as a Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting Young Scientist
Tomas Gonzalez-Fernandez, an assistant professor of bioengineering, has been selected to participate in the 72th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (LINO23) this summer in Germany.
