Kelley Garvin Wins Best Student Paper Competition
April 28, 2010
Kelley Garvin won the Best Student Paper Competition at the 159th Meeting of the held in Baltimore, MD from April 19-23. Her invited paper, titled Ultrasound standing wave fields induce endothelial cell sprouting within three-dimensional engineered tissues
was recognized as the Best Student Paper in the Biomedical Ultrasound/Bioresponse to Vibration Technical Section. This was the second year in a row that Kelley has won this award. Kelley presented her recent work demonstrating the use of ultrasound standing wave fields to spatially organize cells and induce endothelial cell sprouting in three-dimensional engineered tissues.
Kelley is a graduate student in the and her thesis research is co-advised by and . Kelley is also a student member of the and organizer of the Ultrasound Journal Club. Kelley's research is part of a larger, multidisciplinary project, led by Drs. Dalecki and Hocking and funded by the that aims to develop novel ultrasound technologies for the field of tissue engineering.
