A huge congratulations to Jewelia Durant for successfully defending her MS! Her thesisβ€”Pigment-Inclusive, Bilayered, Tissue-Engineered Skin Substitute as a Model for Autologous Skin Graftingβ€”was incredible. WOW, we are so proud of you! The lab’s first graduate student, and what a bar you’ve set! πŸŽ‰

The ISFR Rising Star talks are up next at the ISFR section meeting! First, we have Peter Bertone from @katiehixon.bsky.social's lab presenting his work on cryogels and ceramic 3D printing for non unions! Peter was also the winner of the ISFR 3-minute research pitch competition last year!
