Julie is majoring in biomedical engineering with a concentration in biomechanics. After graduation, she will be attending graduate school to focus further on her concentration.
she is very interested in studying prosthetics and optimizing their compatibility with the body. One specific area she is interested in is reconnecting and reforming neural pathways in prosthetics.
Alison is a senior at WPI, majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a concentration in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering. Her senior research project incorporates plant vasculature into a recirculating 'organs on a chip' set up, which allows cells type to cell type interactions to be observed. After graduation, she intends to begin working at a biomedical company.

I am developing a induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocyte seeded fibrin suture to deliver to infarcted cardiac tissue in the hope of improving active myocardial function following a myocardial infarction.
In the future I hope to work in industry doing clinical based research within the field of cardiovascular regeneration. I aim one day to be involved with clinical trials that are utilizing regenerative medicine techniques to treat acute myocardial infarction.
