Students win awards for nanomedicine

Hye-Ran Moon and Stephanie Venis received Best Paper Awards at ASME 2018 6th Congress on NanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology (NEMB 2018), held in Los Angeles, CA in August 2018.

NEMB 2018 aims to bring together leading experts in bioengineering, nanomaterials, biology and medicine, to review recent advances in nanoengineering and nanomedicine, to stimulate the development of new experimental methods, synthetic approaches and modeling, and to apply innovative bioengineering methodologies for sensing, quantifying, diagnosing, understanding and treating medical disorders. Total 160 abstracts are submitted, and approximately 200 participants attend the conference from all over the world. 

Titles and co-authors of the abstracts are below: 

Local invasion of pancreatic cancer cells through a perductal cancer-associated fibroblasts layer
by Stephanie Venis, Yi Yang, Stephen F. Konieczny, and Bumsoo Han

Physical limits on chemotactic performance of cancer cells
by Hye-ran Moon, Julien Varennes, Soutick Saha, Andrew Mugler and Bumsoo Han

Hye-ran and Stephanie study under professor Bumsoo Han in his Biotransport Phenomena Laboratory.
