The Taylor Lab recently visited Phoenix, Arizona to attend the 2025 Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) Conference. The event brought doctors, researchers, consultants, and musculoskeletal professionals together to discuss groundbreaking research in the field. Congratulations to Harrison Broadaway and Mariah Turner for presenting their posters and representing the lab internationally!
Congratulations to Mariah Turner for winning the top poster and rapid talk award at the 2025 AfroBioTech conference! She presented her poster titled “Regenerative Spiny Mice Exhibit Reduced Achilles Tendon Mechanics: A Comparative Study with CD1 Mice.” We are so proud to have her in The Taylor Lab and celebrate her hard work and achievements!
Last week, the Taylor Lab had a blast welcoming high school students for a behind-the-scenes tour! Led by our third-year graduate student Harrison Broadway, we were able to showcase our electrospinner, fluorescent microscope, and Instron. We hope to see some of these bright students in the lab again!
Our end-of-semester gathering was a great success! The Taylor Lab celebrated with a delicious potluck, a fun White Elephant gift exchange, and insightful presentations from our undergraduates, including semester recaps and ‘Who Am I’ introductions. A wonderful way to wrap up the year and highlight everyone’s hard work and achievements!
The Taylor Lab proudly represented at the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) 2024 Annual Meeting, showcasing our latest research in musculoskeletal restorative engineering. Our lab members presented their cutting-edge work across podium and poster sessions, highlighting advancements in tendon biomechanics, rehabilitation, and scaffold development.
Presenters:
Congratulations to all our presenters for their impactful contributions!
Congratulations to Harrison on placing 3rd in the annual BME Art Photo Contest! He utilized post-imaging processing to create a color overlay on SEM micrographs of polycaprolactone scaffolds.
The Taylor Lab celebrated the end of the spring semester by playing laser tag at the arcade! We had a wonderful time having all the undergraduate students together under one roof and socializing as a lab before a busy summer. We also recognized our graduating lab members! Congratulations to Andrea (B.A.), Samhita (B.A.), Sebastian (M.S.), and the rest of 2024 graduates!
