Undergraduates Anna Li and Anurag Majumdar were selected to join the 2022 class of BioSURF summer research fellows. They will spend 10-weeks full time over the summer pursuing their projects on the origins of skeletal innervation and neural regulation of bone marrow adiposity.
4th year BME student Alec Beeve was recently awarded an NRSA F31 fellowship from the NIH to support his work entitled “Neuroskeletal crosstalk in load induced bone formation”. Congratulations to Alec on his first research award!
Dr. Hassan was recently selected as the 2020 recipient of the Rita Levi-Montalcini Postdoctoral Fellowship in Regenerative Medicine by the Washington University Center of Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Hassan is a dentist-scientist with training in Orthodontics and will join the lab in the Summer of 2021 to begin his work. Congratulations, Mohamed!
Mr. Beeve was selected as a recipient of the Department of Bioengineering travel award to attend the BMES conference in San Diego, CA where he will present his work on the acute and chronic regulation of bone by bioelectric stimulation of the sciatic nerve. Congratulations Alec!
Ms. Ivana Shen was awarded a 2020 BioSURF fellowship to pursue her work on the relationship between nerve quality and bone health in mice and humans with diabetes. Congratulations, Ivana!
In addition to successfully passing his qualifying examination, Alec Beeve was recently appointed to a competitive graduate student fellowship position on the Skeletal Disorders Training Program (T32). Congratulations to Alec on his exam and his research fellowship to study the effects of acute and chronic bioelectric nerve stimulation on skeletal health.
Congratulations to Nasja on her summer research fellowship to study the interplay and relationships between diabetic neuropathy and skeletal disease.
Dr. Jennifer Brazill, a post-doctoral fellow with previous training in neurobiology, was appointed to the Skeletal Disorders Training Program T32 in the Division of Bone & Mineral Diseases at Washington University. For her fellowship, Dr. Brazill will study the physiologic integration of the neural and musculoskeletal systems in states of health and diabetes.
