Graduate Student Appreciation Week 2025: Trainee Spotlights for Friday, April 11th

For our last day of spotlights for Graduate & Professional Student Appreciation Week 2025, we first spoke with Kevin Levesque.  Kevin is currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, and is a member of The Connizzo Lab.  His research focuses on investigating the behaviors of the extracellular matrix in tendon explants following an acute tensile strain.

Last, but certainly not least, is our Trainee Spotlight on Ph.D. student Jeremy Tran.  Jeremy is a member of The Ngo Lab, working with PI John Ngo and his fellow trainees in the field of mammalian Synthetic Biology, specifically developing molecular tools to probe and re-program mammalian cell communication for potential cell-based medicine or tissue engineering applications.  Click the button below to read their full spotlights!
