CMBE New Orleans: Poster Presentation

Last night the conference hosted a gala, so we got dressed up and heard a great talk by Dr. Don Ingber.  Wow does he does amazing research and develops incredible devices and technologies!  

Today were poster presentations and Katie did a great job explaining her project to people who came by.  We got some good suggestions and met some new colleagues in the field of tissue engineering.  Overall a great event!
