very exciting news! congrats!

Impaired stem cell migration and divisions in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy revealed by live imaging Dysregulation of stem cell properties is a hallmark of many pathologies, but the dynamic behaviour of stem cells in their microenvironment during disease progression remains poorly understood. Using t...

🔥🔥🔥 New preprint!
Our new work explores the dynamic behaviour of muscle stem cells and their niche interactions in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

very cool! congrats to all!

Touch-evoked traveling waves establish a translaminar spacetime code Translaminar spacetime patterns organized by feedback-dependent cortical circuits support sparse traveling waves.

Fresh off the press, our paper linking #TravelingWaves #Cortex #Dendrites #inhibition is online

Thank you, NIH and AFOSR!

Controlling Microparticle Aspect Ratio via Photolithography for Injectable Granular Hydrogel Formation and Cell Delivery Granular hydrogels are injectable and inherently porous biomaterials assembled through the packing of microparticles. These particles typically have a symmetric and spherical shape. However, recent st...

Hot off the press, the lab's latest work on high aspect ratio microgels for granular hydrogel formation and cell delivery is just published in ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...). Work co-led by undergraduate student Dean Stornello and postdoc Jun Kim.

Congrats to all the CMBE 2025 graduate travel awardees and especially Qazi lab PhD student Tuba Marjan!

I'm honored to receive the R35 MIRA award from the NIH. Grateful to NIGMS and the reviewers for their enthusiasm about our ideas and supporting a new PI/lab. This $1.9 million award will enable us to design biomaterial platforms to study cell-matrix interactions in the context of wound healing!

we have ongoing work on some variations. please dm/email and we can chat more!

Had a great #BMES2023 meeting in Seattle. Very proud of my undergraduate students Ellie Tanner and Nikki Kulkarni for an outstanding job presenting their research posters.

super exciting element and hope this can continue in future meetings!
