Check out this awesome video made by Columbia Engineering highlighting the work of our incredible Ph.D. student, Serena Russell! Here, she explains her process for mechanically testing mouse tissue to better understand cervical remodeling during pregnancy!

Last week, Professor Myers presented work on Digital Twins of Pregnancy at Dassault Systemes Virtual Human Twin Experience Symposium in Boston! This event highlighted the work of technical leaders from academia, industry, and government to share their experiences, data and vision toward the creation of virtual twins of the human body. Presentations showcased how virtual twins can break down silos in medicine, alter the cost structure, power generative scientific innovations, and ultimately improve outcomes for all patients.

Congratulations to our rockstar Ph.D. student, Charlotte Lee, who competed in (and won!) the Iris Fund 5K this past October! Dedicated to ending the heartbreak of prematurity, the Iris fund supports research to understand preterm labor and supports families facing high-risk pregnancies and loss.

Congratulations to three of our amazing undergraduate researchers who presented their posters at the Columbia Undergraduate Research Symposium!

Eden presented her work focused on computationally modeling shear wave elastography. Reema shared her work characterizing the mechanical properties of the cervix, and Daffny shared her project focused on AI based image cropping! Fantastic work, everyone!
