Katelyn Neuman Defends her Thesis

Today on December 1st at approximately 4PM, LNNR lab member, Katelyn Neuman, successfully defended her thesis “Engineering New Strategies for Peripheral Nerve Repair: Investigating Materials, Biophysical Cues, and Cellular Compositions for Next Generation Clinical Applications”, earning her the title of doctor. Katelyn’s work has not only led to multiple publications (4 pending release) but also established new avenues for peripheral nerve regeneration. She has truly paved the way for the next generation of nerve repair strategies.

Beyond her research, Dr. Neuman has always been an involved member in the Koppes labs and Northeastern community. In the lab, she was a mentor to both undergraduates and incoming graduate students, and in the university, she was an active member of Graduate Women in Science and Engineering and Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Council.

Despite leaving our labs soon, Katelyn has left enough of a mark on the university that her presence will be felt for years to come.

 

Congratulations on the PhD, Dr. Tori Duback!

Tori's terrific T cells targeted tumors so effectively that today she has earned herself a PhD and the title of "Doctor".  Tori joined ABNEL back in the fall of 2022 as a Chemical Engineering Industry PhD student with Sana Biotechnology. While only at Northeastern for...

Bryan Just Keeps Winning – BioEl2025 Student Talk Award

Looking for more of a challenge, ABNEL's PhD student, Bryan Schellberg, headed to Austria to attend the BioEl2025 conference. During this event, Bryan gave a talk titled "In-situ monitoring of cellular function on-chip via automated, non-invasive luminescence sensing"...
