Carolina Catarino, a 3rd year Ph.D. student, has been selected as one of the winners of the Young Researchers - America Lush Prize for her work on “Animal-free approaches for engineering physiologically relevant humanized skin models using 3D bioprinting technology”.
Tania Baltazar, a 4th year Ph.D. student under the supervison of Dr. Pankaj Karande, has received the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine Young Investigator Award for her work on developing the first 3D bioprinted in vitro model of vascularized human skin.
The Department of Chemical and Biological Engieering has teamed with the Art Department to create artistic, digital images that capture the essence of Chemical Engineering. Students from Kathleen Ruiz's Intermediate Digital Imaging course have created three unique canvases that will "come alive" to tell you a story.
Congratulations, Jane!
