New postdoctoral position at the University of Michigan

I’m pleased to announce I have taken a new position as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan starting today.

 

I will be joining Prof. Shuichi Takayama and Prof. Sofia Merjever in developing organ on a chip tools to study breast cancer metastasis in the brain.  I’m excited to apply the skills and knowledge learned with Prof. Hart to develop an integrated manufacturing approach to developing organ on a chip devices.
