ABNEL welcomes new PhD students Jessica and Adam!!
ABNEL welcomes Jessica Thompson and Adam Bindas as new PhD students. Jessica comes from University of Iowa (M.S. Biomedical/Medical Engineering) and Adam from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (B.S. Chemical Engineering).
Research in the Advanced Biomaterials for Neuroengineering Laboratory (ABNEL) focuses on neural engineering and the interface between neurons and surrounding tissues. Specifically ABNEL develops novel and transformative devices, biomaterials, and biophysical-based therapies for this aims. Current work centers on the gut, heart, and central/peripheral nervous system.
Please feel free to also visit our sister lab Laboratory for Neuromodulation and Neuromuscular Repair (LNNR)
NEWS
Dr. Koppes was awarded a 2020 CMBE Young Innovator award for the recent paper: Cholinergic Activation of Primary Human Derived Intestinal Epithelium Does Not Ameliorate TNF-α Induced Injury. The paper (first author by lab alumni Sanjin Hosic) was published as part of the eponymous special issue. Congrats Dr. Koppes!
