Minhal, Caroline, and Beth win Creative Endeavors Awards!
Congratulations to our amazing undergrads Minhal Ahmed, Caroline Ghio, and Beth Dibiase for each winning funding for their projects through Northeastern’s Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors Award! This award provides them with ample funding to both support their research and present their results. Congrats guys!!
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!
