This year, our graduate students Harrison Broadaway and Kari Shama along with undergraduate student Roni Saffar represented the Taylor Lab at the University of Florida NanoDay 2025! Researchers came together to share their work spanning the nanoscience field at this annual event. A special congratulations to Kari for winning a presentation award and Roni for giving her first presentation with the Taylor Lab!
Come learn more about The Taylor Lab’s research from our lovely undergraduate students presenting at the 2025 Fall Undergraduate Symposium!
On May 6th, Harrison Broadaway successfully passed his doctoral thesis proposal and officially became the Taylor Lab’s second Doctoral Candidate! His research will develop in vitro and in vivo models of healthy and tendinopathic tendon in order to elucidate mechanisms underscoring tissue turnover, a key component in investigating the complex biomechanical interactions underlying tendon maintenance and disease progression. Now a Taylor Lab tradition, we celebrated his accomplishment with sparkling cider! Congratulations Harrison Broadaway!
At this year’s inaugural symposium for the Pain Research & Integrated Neuroscience Center (PRINC), Mariah Turner presented her poster titled “Macrophage-Driven Modulation of Substance P Secretion in Tendon-Derived Cells: A Neuroimmune Mechanism Underlying Tendinopathic Pain.” We are so proud of Mariah for sharing her research with other experts in the field!
At the annual Biomaterials Day Symposium, our very own Harrison Broadaway and Kari Shama displayed their posters! With knowledgeable speakers and fascinating research being showcased, we caught a glimpse into how biomaterials research is building the future of medicine.
