The Chow Lab hosted three STEM-SI undergraduate researchers in our lab this summer! Devon Ennis (Lehigh BIOE ’25), Santiago Lazarte (FSU BME ’24), and Juan Mendoza (Lehigh MSE ’24) presented their research at the Lehigh Expo on August 3, 2023. Juan also received a poster award and gift card for his work! Special thanks to... Continue Reading →
The end of the semester may have flown by, but we can't miss this opportunity to congratulate and celebrate Tyler French (BS ’23, Materials Science and Engineering) who graduated this May 2023! Tyler has had a huge impact at Lehigh as an exceptional student-athlete and this year's Bradley Stoughton Student Award winner, which is given... Continue Reading →
Diana Hammerstone and our collaborators from FAMU-FSU Tomas Babuska, Santiago Lazarte, and Brandon Krick published a paper titled, “Characterizing properties of scaffolds 3D printed with peptide-polymer conjugate" in Biomaterials Advances! Check it out to learn how we can modify peptide functionalization without affecting scaffold architecture or mechanical properties. **It will be available as an open-access paper...
