In late October three junior biochemistry students represented the department at the annual Biomedical Engineering Society Meeting (BMES) in Baltimore, MD: James Marturano, Kathleen Doran and Addison Schaff (pictured left to right).
Established in 1968, BMES strives to be the professional home for biomedical engineers to assist you in navigating your career path and striving to make the work of biomedical engineering and those in allied fields, more visible. Their mission is to promote a collaborative and inclusive community to advance human health through education, discovery and translation, which drives their research and educational initiatives, including webinars, chapter programs and meetings.
Each student presented a poster of their research findings with their partner.
James Marturano, biochemistry
“Single measurement of DUB activity in multiple myeloma to identity subpopulations based on enzyme activity”
Katleen Doran, biochemistry
“Development of a 3D-Printed Device to Study How Bacteria Alters the 3D Migration of Breast Cancer Cells”
Addison Schaaf, biochemistry
“Co-culture between ER + breast cancer and bacteria using a 3-D printed platform to recreate the tumor microbiome”
