This week, four REU students from the TIME Lab presented their research at the Notre Dame 2023 Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium. These posters were presented by:
- Brian Lawlor (University of College Dublin) who was supported by a Naughton Fellowship and studied brain cancer fibroblasts with grad student Maksym Zarodniuk.
- Dorielis Rodriquez (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico) who was supported by the CBE SMASH REU and studied brain vs. breast cancer cell mechanical properties with postdoc Killian Onwudiwe.
- Monica Leal Palma (Universidad de las Americas Puebla) who was supported by the NDnano NURF Fellowship and created nanoparticles to target breast cancer-associated fibroblasts with grad student Julian Najera. Monica was co-mentored by Prof. Roeder and grad student Lan Li in the AME Department.
