The Santerre Lab had the opportunity to attend the 39th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Biomaterials Society (CBS), which was hosted at Queen's University, in Kingston, Ontario. For more information about the event, take a look at the website here: https://cbs2025.smithengineering.queensu.ca/
Zach Gouveia, Alex Jucan, Kate MacQuarrie, Suja Shrestha, and Elaine Yan had oral presentations, while Genevie Tran had a poster presentation.
Zach Gouveia presenting at CBS.
Zach delivered an oral presentation, titled, “Nanoparticles for the Delivery of ProRegenerative Cardiac Progenitor Secretory Proteins Targeting.” Kate had two oral presentations: “Effects of Autologous Endothelial Cell-Support Cell Co-culture on the Formation and Character of the Endothelial Monolayer,” and “The Selection of Support Cells to Produce a Fully Endothelialized and Biomimetic Vascular Construct.”
Alex Jucan presenting at CBS.
Alex Jucan delivered an oral presentation, titled, “Optimization of a cell-seeded, injectable micro-carrier to support cardiomyocytes for cardiac tissue regeneration." Genevie presented a poster, titled, “In vivo evaluation of engineered gingival grafts seeded with human adipose-derived stem cells.”
Elaine Yan presenting at CBS.
Elaine delivered an oral presentation, titled, “Oligo-urethane nanoparticles combined with lipid additives enhances EGFP mRNA transfection in C2C12 cells.” Finally, Dr. Paul Santerre presented Dr. Suja Shrestha’s work, titled, “Co-assembly of oligo-urethane nanoparticles with defined lipid composition to tailor RNA delivery in difficult-to-transfect cells.”
