The Taylor Lab celebrated the end of an amazing year with a lab-wide picnic! Three of our amazing undergraduate researchers are graduating and pursuing medical school, graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania, and biomedical engineering industry with Medtronic. Congratulations to Bianca, Eva, and Diya! Ananya, a Master’s student in the lab, is also graduating […]
At the 2026 Florida Regional Biomaterials Day, the Taylor Lab had great representation with two undergraduate research posters presented by Emily and Roni along with a talk given by Dr. Taylor discussing tissue engineering. We had an amazing time learning about the biomaterials work happening in Florida and sharing our recent projects! Examining the Effects […]
This year our undergraduate researchers Bianca and Anna presented their University Scholars Program research projects at the Undergraduate Spring Symposium! This program funds researchers for year-long projects that culminate in a presentation and publication. Their hard work has paid off, and we couldn’t be more proud! Comparing Cytoskeletal Alignment Analysis Methods for Biomimetic Tendon Scaffolds […]
Our final graduate student spotlight is Kari! She is a fifth year PhD candidate who continuously works hard both in her research and mentorship. She supports her mentees with patience and kindness by taking the time to answer every question, even if that means researching the answers she doesn’t know. She ensures her mentees have […]
The next graduate student we’d like to highlight is Mariah! On August 11th, Mariah successfully passed her doctoral thesis proposal and officially became a Doctoral Candidate in the Taylor Lab! Her research investigates neuroimmune mechanisms of tendon pain, with a focus on Substance P and NK1R signaling across in vitro, preclinical, and clinical models. […]
Our next spotlight for Graduate Student Appreciation Week is Harrison! Last May he successfully became a PhD candidate and has since been working hard to accomplish his research aims. He continuously shows up for his undergraduate mentees and is an inspiring mentor that leads by example. The Taylor Lab wouldn’t be the same without you […]
This week is Graduate Student Appreciation Week, and the Taylor Lab wants to spotlight our amazing graduate students that keep our lab running. First up is Ananya and Bryce, our master’s students! They’ve recently joined the lab but are already showing off their knowledge and hard work. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish […]
The University of Florida Biomedical Engineering department hosted our second annual BME Outreach Day, where labs across the field came together to ignite curiosity in research and STEM for young students. The Taylor Lab showcased our tendinous scaffolds, taught aspiring scientists how to pipette, and made a musculoskeletal crossword puzzle. After a successful event, we […]
Come see the Taylor Lab at the 2026 SFB and ORS conferences present the amazing work we’ve been doing!
The Taylor Lab opened its doors to high school students to give a lab tour as part of the 2026 Florida STEM Symposium. Designed to inspire students with an interest in STEM research, we had fun and engaging conversations while educating the next generation of researchers.
