Stanford Bio-X would like to announce our call for applications for the Undergraduate Summer Research Program with funding available starting in the summer of 2020 (June 22nd through August 28th).
Complete applications must be received by December 2, 2019 at 5:00 pm PST. Short, five-minute interviews for the finalists will be conducted on December 5th and 6th.
Dr. Lieber’s work is characterized by its interdisciplinary nature—an approach that is relevant to those who study biomechanics and Orthopaedic Surgery. He has also pioneered studies of human muscle during hand surgery and in conditions of muscle contracture due to cerebral palsy.

This WISE Research Roundtable is one in a series of discussions with those whose research illuminates paths to advance equity in scientific and technical fields.
Faculty mentoring is a durable structure within doctoral education that facilitates intellectual growth, professional socialization, and progressive independence. This presentation will share findings from research focused on PhD students from marginalized backgrounds in science and engineering programs that, though located in top research universities, enrolled significantly higher shares of women or students of color than are found on average in those disciplines. Posselt finds clear patterns in how students conceptualize faculty support, associated with specific mentoring tactics that contributed to their persistence and well-being.

Dr. Tatiana Segura's laboratory is interested designing therapies to treat stroke related disability, which are administered weeks to months after stroke. Their approach is to inject hydrogel biomaterial scaffolds into the stroke lesion that can remove the cytotoxic environment and allow pro-repair mechanisms to evolve. In this talk, Dr. Segura will focus on our efforts to design hyaluronic acid microporous annealed particle (HA-MAP) hydrogels to treat stroke related tissue loss.
