One featured poster from UTCML was presented by Ruogang Zhao, Emily Won, and Kristine Wyss on studying valve interstitial cell biology using micropipette aspiration.
Cindy Yip discusses matrix stiffness effects on valve interstitial cells to several of Dr. Gottlieb’s students, who also have experience working with VICs. The Joint Cardiovascular Research Day seems to have succeeded in bringing together researchers with similar interests.
Baosen Zhang, a former summer student in UTCML, presents his work on 3D hemodynamic shear stress predictions using CFD at the CANCAM 2007 Conference held at Ryerson University.
