A huge congratulations goes to undergraduate researcher Autumn Hengen, who successfully defended her Honors thesis today! Her thesis was titled, "Characterization of Aquaporin 5 in Breast Cancer Spheroid Formation, Invasion, and Angiogenesis." Autumn has worked in the lab since February 2022, soon after which she was accepted into the Bioengineering Honors Program. While in the lab, Autumn completed her 2-year thesis, co-authored a paper, presented her work at Undergraduate Research Day and the BMES Mid-Atlantic JHU-UMD event, and contributed towards multiple other manuscripts that are in their final stages. She recently received the 2024 Outstanding Senior Award from the Fischell Department of Bioengineering as well as an Honorable Mention recognition from the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship competition. Autumn will be pursuing a PhD in biomedical engineering at Georgia Tech starting this fall. Great job and congratulations, Autumn!!!
