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.
Katelyn and Bryan’s publication is accepted!
Congrats to Katelyn and Bryan on the acceptance for their article titled "Electrical and magnetic stimulation separately modulates the extent and direction of neurite outgrowth in an ionically conductive hydrogel". This article will be officially published soon in the...
Bryan Schellberg – Quickest turn around review publication
Congratulations to our PhD student, Bryan Schellberg, on his recent review publication in the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research! Bryan's publication not only marks the lab's first in 2025 but also set a new record for fastest turn around review publication in...
