#UBClassof2024 Big day in our lab! Carley, Bhavishya, & Haryana graduated. My favorite lab tradition is the nested/telescoping photo. Each lab member who has left with MS or PhD is always with us at each graduation. It was getting a bit small, so I made a small poster


AIMBE is looking for biomedical researchers to share how recent policies have disrupted their grants/work: aimbe.wufoo.com/forms/qs9tsin1… Your personal anecdotes help us convey to Members of Congress the devastating impact of these changes. Your responses can remain anonymous.
I am so proud of the team that Shayn Peirce-Cottler and I co-led focused on agent-based modeling of lung fibrosis and interventions. Eirini Kilikian, Claudia De Sousa Miranda Pérez, and Narshini Gunputh learned a lot and accomplished so much this week at #ICERM



Flaming cocktails celebrating math bio during Women in Mathematical Computational Biology workshop at #ICERM. Fun evening with faculty friends Elana Fertig, Rebecca Segal, Shayn Peirce-Cottler, and Jasmine Foo




Our collaborative workshop on Women in Mathematical Computational Biology is happening this week at Brown University at ICERM. icerm.brown.edu/program/topica…

First three talks by @FordVersyptLab @BernadetteStolz and @kellymaggs7 introducing is us to ideas of agent models, dowker complexes, cohomology for cellular data!
Join us for an exciting session @JointMath tomorrow! Here is our revised schedule!!

Our book Mathematical Modeling for Women's Health is available at the Springer booth at #JMM25. my first time seeing it in print! Open access available here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…



In Seattle for my 1st in-person Joints Maths Meeting. My talk is on Sat. I'm excited for all the math bio and diveristy-celebrating sessions before then. My session: Emerging Geometric and Topological Machine Learning Methods in Mathematical and Computational Oncology.

Congratulations to Dr. Krutika Patidar @kru_277 on successfully defending her PhD dissertation! She is the 5th PhD graduate from my lab and the first I recruited at UB.

Our newest paper is now online. Mohammad Aminul Islam, Ph.D. developed this followup to our earlier COVID-19 agent-based model and resulting lung fibrosis. Here, we studied COVID-19 with the renin-angiotensin system and patient-specific differences: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Our newest paper is now online. Congratulations to Jabia Mostofa Chowdhury and Eduardo Chacin Ruiz on this paper on our collaboration with Katelyn @SwindleReilly on ocular drug delivery. This is our first paper in J Pharmaceutical Sciences. jpharmsci.org/article/S0022-…
Joel Versypt hosted a great winter social for my lab, and we welcomed the Munguía-López lab too. Joel cooked way too much. They ALL had to take home leftovers bc we leave tomorrow. Shown from my lab: me, Aminul, Krutika, Nick, Kailei, Ariel, and Rajesh

Proud of friend and mentee Kazeem Olanrewaju on his NIH R16 grant. pvamu.edu/research/post/…
When hosting seminar visitors for UB CBE, I love taking them to a local waterfall after dinner. Niagara Falls with Selen Cremaschi and Aurora Munguía-López.
