Welcoming two new lab members: Rachael Dillon and Alexis Kelerchian!

Rachael Dillon (BME ’25, University of Galway) and Alexis Kelerchian (BIOE ’26, Lehigh) and joined our lab this semester as undergraduate researchers. Rachael is currently a BME student at the University of Galway joining our lab and the TGF Lab as a visiting scholar this semester. She is working with Chiebuka Okpara to develop scaffolds that deliver anti-inflammatory cues during osteoarthritis-like inflammation. Alexis is currently a Lehigh BIOE student who is working with Gerry Ortega Oviedo to develop 3D-printed scaffolds for spatiotemporal growth factor-mimetic peptide delivery. Excited to have them both in the lab!
