In addition to the student presentations, TCIC Director, Tim Lyden also presented a talk at the “Faculty and Administrator Network” session. Dr. Lyden’s talk focused on the continuing development of the TCIC and it’s current evolution into a mixed curricular/research model based loosely on that of the CiBER Center at UC Berkley.
Once again this year the TCIC posters/presentations were very well received and generated many interesting discussions and questions form the respective audiences.
Tim Morris’s poster was entitled:
CHARACTERIZATION OF HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL-DERIVED 3D STRUCTURES PRODUCED USING NATURAL SCAFFOLDING MATERIALS.
Kevin Rixmann’s poster was entitled:
MODELING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PRIMARY AND CELL-LINE DERIVED ARTIFICIAL BREAST CANCER TISSUES PRODUCED USING 3D CULTURE METHODS.
Ashley Graef’s poster was entitled:
CHARACTERIZATION OF COMPLEX IN-VITRO 3D “ARTIFICIAL TUMOR TISSUE” MODELS USING THE CERVICAL CARCINOMA CELL LINE HELA.
Reid Kuen’s poster was entitled:
THE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS ON HELA CANCER CELL LINE.
Samantha Wagner’s poster was entitled:
DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF “ARTIFICIAL” BRAIN TUMOR TISSUES USING 3D TISSUE ENGINEERING APPROACHES AND BOTH PRIMARY HUMAN TUMORS AS WELL AS GLIOBLASTOMA CELL LINES.
Dr. Lyden’s talk was entitled:
THE TISSUE AND CELLULAR INNOVATION CENTER (TCIC): A UNIQUE HIGH IMPACT EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-RIVER FALLS INVOLVING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN CUTTING EDGE BIOTECHNOLOGY.
