Michael Dwornicki (BIOE ’27) and Alexis Kelerchian (BIOE ’26) presented their STEM-SI research projects at Lehigh’s Summer Research Expo, which featured over 100 projects by undergraduate students participating in STEM-SI, Hatchery, Marcon Institute, and Mountaintop programs across campus.
Michael presented a poster titled, “Synthesis and Characterization of Degradable Peptide-Polymer Conjugate Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering.”
Alexis presented a poster titled, “Controling the Spatial Presentation of Growth Factor-Mimetic Peptides in 3D-Printed Scaffolds.” She won first place in the oral presentation scoring section!
Congrats to Michael and Alexis and thank you for your hard work and contributions this summer! Special thank you to Korina and Gerry for mentoring Michael and Alexis and to STEM-SI, RARE, and the Clare Boothe Luce Research Scholarship for support.
