                <h4 align="justify" style="color:black">Two undergraduates from the C3B® Lab Group attended and presented at the Biomedical Engineering Society’s Annual Meeting this year in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.<br><br>

Iris Vallavanatt (BIOL ’21), who worked with 4th year doctoral student Sara Abasi, presented her poster entitled, <b>“Culture of HUVEC Monolayer and Effect of Tight Junction Formation on Impedance” </b> in the undergraduate poster session. The formation of tight junctions is associated with growth to confluency of the HUVEC monolayer. Tight junction formation was visualized by staining VE-cadherin, an associated protein, to confirm the presence of tight junctions. These junctions impede ion transport between adjacent cells which can be monitored via resistance/impedance changes in ECSARA, a 24 well electroculture ware plate device designed and developed in the C3B® lab. Both results of standard alamarBlue viability assay and impedance spectroscopy showed a faster growth of EF-stimulated cells compared to the control. Therefore, a direct relationship between tight junction formation, growth to confluence, and cell resistance and capacitance exists. These parameters can be measured in real time with electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Ms. Vallavanatt also volunteered at the registration desk and had the opportunity to speak with representatives from Texas A&M’s EnMed program while at BMES. <br><br>

                    Ryan Davis (BMEN ’20), who also worked with 4th year doctoral student Sara Abasi, presented his poster entitled, <b>“Degradation Profile and Release Kinetics of poly(HEMA-co-HPMA-co-GelMA) Hydrogel” </b>in the undergraduate poster session. The cross-linking of HEMA-co-HPMA with methacrylated gelatin (GelMA), a modified natural polymer, gives rise to a biohybrid polymer capable of <b>matrix metalloproteinases </b> (collagenase) degradation. Such a polymer could be tuned to take advantage of the balance between diffusive and bio-errosive release of factors. Using FITC-dextran (40kDa) as an example, Ryan measured and modeled both the degradation kinetics and release kinetics showing the domain of influence of the studied principles of release at difference level of GelMA inclusion. Ryan visited and held discussions with several graduate schools who had representatives in attendance and renewed his commitment to attend graduate school in the Fall of 2020.

The 2019 summer school will be held in the Mediterranean city of Chania, on the island of Crete, from June 9-15. The fellowship will cover all the local accommodations for the student while studying in Greece. Ankita’s research involves the development of implantable biochips for physiologic status monitoring. This includes nano-enabled bio-interfaced electroconductive biosensors and biochips for the study of the complex pathophysiology of trauma-induced hemorrhage. Her research incorporates the integration of biotransducers, mixed-signal electronics, low power devices, and wireless communications into clinically relevant systems for monitoring during trauma and surgery and for monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU). “I am excited about this global opportunity associated with the elite NSF fellowship. The Summer School will enable me to network and establish connections with participating faculty and students in the area of biosensors. I will also like to present my research and learn from others conducting research in the area of design, manufacturing, innovation, and entrepreneurship related to biosensors. This will be a wholesome experience.” said Ankita.</h4>

Aggas started at Texas A&M in the spring of 2016 and is in his third semester. Currently he is pursuing research in the field of biologically responsive and biocompatible polymeric circuit elements for implantable biosensing.

His research consists of utilizing a conductive nanofiber synthesized from polyaniline that is dispersed within a hydrogel to develop both resistive and capacitive circuit elements. These elements, when integrated with biological recognition molecules such as enzymes, can demonstrate a biological response to physiological metabolites, such as glucose or lactate. The result is the ability to create organic circuits that signal levels of lactate and glucose.
