Look out for Danh’s  article titled “A Three-Dimensional (3D) Organotypic Microfluidic Model for Glioma Stem Cell – Vascular Interactions” in Biomaterials as part of special theme issue on Ex Vivo Tissue Chip Models in collaborations with Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI)! Eric is a co-authors on the paper as well. Congrats!

Look out for Harpinder’s article titled “The Role of Desmoplasia and Stromal Fibroblasts on Anti-Cancer Drug Resistance in a Microengineered Tumor Model” in the young innovator award issue of the journal Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE).  Mayar and Casey are the co-authors on the paper. Congrats all!  

Pictured: Ali presents his thesis to his PhD committee. It is our great pleasure to announce the successful defense of Ali’s PhD dissertation. He is the first student to do so in the Nikkhah lab. Ali has worked long and hard toward this goal and we could not be more proud of him. He will…
