Meet Our New MD Students and Undergraduate Researchers!

The TARE Lab is happy to announce the addition of two new MD students and three new undergraduate researchers!
 

Jaylend is a 1st-year medical student at University of Washington School of Medicine. He is interested in the musculoskeletal system, degenerative joint disease, sports injuries, health equity, and increasing underrepresented minorities in medicine. You can view Jaylend’s complete biography here.

 

Brandon is a 3rd-year medical student at University of Washington School of Medicine (Wyoming). He is interested in the musculoskeletal system, sports injuries, and strives to work in the field of orthopedic surgery once he graduates. You can view Brandon’s complete biography here.

Bryan is a 3rd-year undergraduate at the University of Washington. He is majoring in Biochemistry, with a minor in Chemistry. He is interested in injury evaluation, rehabilitation skills, and mechanisms of injury, specifically among college athletes. You can view Bryan’s complete biography here.

 

 

Nitya is a 3rd-year undergraduate at the University of Washington. She is majoring in Bioengineering. She is interested in developing regenerative medicine and drug therapeutics. You can view Nitya’s complete biography here.

 

 

Anika is a 3rd-year undergraduate at the University of Washington. She is currently majoring in both Biochemistry and Anthropology: Human Evolutionary Biology, with a minor in Chemistry. She is passionate about bones, and wants to delve deeper into orthopedics and biomechanics in the future. You can view Anika’s complete biography here.

BMES 2023

The TARE Lab recently attended the Biomedical Engineering Society’s 2023 Annual Meeting, held here in Seattle! We had a great time, and were excited to see such diversity in the emerging research (especially within women’s health). Check below for the presentations/posters our member’s delivered, and some photos!

Dr. Robinson – “Male and Female Meniscus Cells Exhibit Sex Differences in Response to Estrogen: Implications for Knee Osteoarthritis”.

John – “Sex Dependent Impacts of Exogenous Estrogens in Cell Culture Media on HMSC Metabolism and Proliferation”.

Katherine – “Electrospinning Aligned Fibers with Non-Ionic Surfactant for Additional Control of Scaffold Physical Properties, Protein Adsorption, and Cell Behavior”.

Susy – “Highly Parallel Tissue Grafting of Engineered Liver Micro-Tissues Enables High-Throughput In Vivo Biomaterial Screening”.

Kyley – “Modulating Pentenoate-Functionalized Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Network Formation for Meniscal Fibrochondrocyte Mechanotransduction”.

Aidan – “Electrospun Fiber Surface Roughness Modulates Macrophage Polarization for Soft-Tissue Injury Regeneration”.

Meet our new BioE PhD Student, Susy!

The TARE Lab is happy to announce the addition of a new member to our team!

Susy is a 4th-year PhD student in the Department of Bioengineering, and she will be co-advised by Dr. Robinson and Dr. Ronald Kwon in the Musculoskeletal Systems Biology Lab.

Susy is currently seeking to combine the strengths of exploration-oriented genetics studies in zebrafish and translation-focused in vitro studies with patient tissues to answer questions related to meniscal tissue growth and regeneration in homeostasis and disease.
