Dr. Stroka and Ph.D. students Kelsey Gray and Mary Doolin were invited to celebrate recent Grad School Awards at a reception. Kelsey Gray received the Dr. Mabel S. Spencer Award for Excellence in Graduate Achievement in 2017, and also was the 2nd place winner in the 2018 3 Minute Thesis Competition. Mary Doolin was awarded a Graduate Student Summer Research Fellowship in 2017. Dr. Stroka was awarded the Research and Scholarship Award for summer 2017. Thank you to the UMD Graduate School for the continued support of our research!
Team KABAE, co-mentored by Dr. Stroka and Dr. Sripriya Sundararajan (University of Maryland Medical Center), advanced to the finals and ultimately won 3rd place overall in Fischell Department of Bioengineering's Senior Capstone Design Competition! Team KABAE, composed of senior BIOE undergrads Erica Brown (former Stroka lab member), Katie Geary, Ajay Kurian, Adam Paley, and Bryan Wand, designed and tested a triple-lumen device to reduce microaspiration-related mortality in neonatal intensive care units. Great job to Team KABAE!
This week Dr. Stroka attended and gave an invited talk at the Modeling Cellular Mechanics in Cancer Workshop, held at the University of Minnesota. The workshop was sponsored by the University of Minnesota's Physical Sciences and Oncology Center. A huge thank you to the Minnesota PSOC for the invitation and for organizing such a great workshop!
