Thrilled to announce the 4th successful PhD dissertation defense from the #MusahLab! Dr. Yasmin Roye’s work advanced patient-specific disease modeling, uncovered mechanisms of diabetic podocytopathies and revealed new therapeutic avenues. Congratulations on a remarkable scientific growth, Dr. Roye!🎉

So excited to grow Sweet William for the first time. This beauty bloomed in my amateur garden, all thanks to catching the gardening bug from an amazing faculty colleague and friend!😊

Big congratulations to Dr. Xingrui Mou on defending his PhD and becoming the 3rd PhD grad from #MusahLab! 🎉 His work on engineering vascularized #microfluidic #OrgansOnChips & disease modeling is remarkable. His next stop: Postdoc at #NYSCF! Check out his research publications: tinyurl.com/MusahLab

Dr. Xingrui Mou is being celebrated by the Musah Lab at Duke University for his successful PhD thesis defense and becoming the 3rd graduate student from the Musah Lab to achieve this milestone. He is pictured with a huge smile while holding a mug with the text 'Dr. Mou" on it. Members of the Musah Lab research group are also pictured as they celebrate Xingrui for his successful work on engineering biomaterials and microfluidic organ chip devices for tissue engineering and disease modeling.

Excited to share this TEDx talk by #MusahLab undergrad researcher and recent Duke graduate, Sophia Leeman! She dives into our work using stem cells to engineer patient-specific preclinical models, helping to uncover disease mechanisms and new and safe therapeutics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iskr...

TEDx talk by an inspiring #MusahLab undergrad researcher and recent Duke BME & CS graduate, Sophia Leeman! She dives into some of our lab's work using stem cell derivatives to engineer patient-specific preclinical models, helping us uncover disease mechanisms and identify new and safe therapeutics.
