Grateful to have had the opportunity to help drive this project!
New pre-print from our group! Local photo-crosslinking and stiffening of ECM proteins within ex vivo tissues to probe lung epithelial cell function: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Led by @_Donia_Ahmed5 & @MattLTan and huge team effort with @BakerLaboratory @RachelZemans @nanocartilage

Excited for Avinava @AvinavaR and Katie Wei and their recent work published in @CMBEjournal! A cool collaboration with the Shtein lab @mshtein @UMengineering on kirigami-inspired hammocks to mimic lung alveoli link.springer.com/article/10…
A little late on this, but happy with the way this final first-author paper from my PhD turned out! It was a great opportunity to integrate a diverse set of tools from across disciplines. Thanks again to everyone who helped out with this!
One final paper from @FischbachLab in 2023! @MattLTan et al. investigated changes in tumor cell metabolism that occur during invasion toward engineered microvessels using metabolic imaging, metabolomics, and flux balance analysis. Read it here: pubs.aip.org/aip/apb/article…

Happy to share our recent review article on mechanical forces in cardiopulmonary development and disease: doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2023.… - led by @_Donia_Ahmed5 + @MadelineEiken. Wonderful collaboration with @BakerLaboratory @TheSpenceLab @RachelZemans and Adam Helms! @iScience_CP

Matrix mineralization is important for bone health but how it regulates metastatic tumor growth was unknown. Siyoung Choi and @Matt_AWhit @CornellBME now found that bone matrix mineralization inhibits tumor growth with an interesting twist!

Woke up to exciting news in my inbox this morning! I received the official Notice of Award for my NRSA / F31 application from @theNCI. Looking forward to pursuing this project on the role of adipocytes in breast cancer for the remainder of my time @CornellBME

Heterogeneity of cancer is linked to its physical properties! Glad to see @GarrettBeeghly and @adshimpi1 @CornellBME review published. With contributions from our own @NCIPhySci patient advocate @bobriter
Heterogeneity is a critical barrier to treating cancer. In this Review, @fischbcl17 et al discuss the biological and physical sources of heterogeneity across length scales and how engineering strategies can improve our understanding of these phenomena.

Thank you so much for the support @BCCRoc! This grant will help advance my research on breast cancer bone metastasis in the @FischbachLab 🦴🤩!
The Breast Cancer Coalition has awarded $100,000 in research grants to 3 local researchers. @ndsempertegui, PhD Candidate, @Cornell was awarded the 2023 Pamela Delp Polashenski MD Breast Cancer Research Trainee Grant ($25,000). Congratulations Nicole! bccr.org/research/
Last weekend I graduated from Cornell, celebrating with my family and friends in @FischbachLab. As this chapter comes to a close, I am excited to continue my research career as a postdoc with @ClaudiaLoebel. Thank you again to everyone who has supported me!

Congratulations Dr. @adshimpi1 on an incredibly successful PhD. What an enjoyable experience it’s been having you in the lab and @CornellBME
Matt Tan retweeted
We got to celebrate as a lab with farewell drinks last night! Can you guess who is graduating? 🤔
Thank you for the kind words @fischbcl17 ! And thank you to everyone who shared this moment with me. I will definitely miss everyone in @FischbachLab and @CornellBME !
Proudly presenting Dr @MattLTan - what a treat listening to his presentation about metabolic regulation of tumor invasion! @FischbachLab @CornellBME will miss him a lot!!!

How many PhD students does it take to carve a pumpkin? We found out by celebrating Halloween together as a lab! See the video of our designs (spooky and otherwise) below 🎃

Congrats to our own @R_E_Stephenson for receiving an @NIH @NIBIBgov T32 Immunoengineering Training Grant. This grant will support Regan's work examining how fibrillar collagen influences macrophage phenotype in the context of breast cancer. Way to go Regan!
