Integrative Thesis Research
The stem cell IGERT at Rutgers offers a comprehensive range of thesis research projects. Over thirty faculty from graduate programs in the life, physical, and engineering sciences have combined their research expertise, and thirty possible integrative research project themes have already been identified. (Additional projects will be continually considered by the Executive Committee for their strategic fit within the stem cell theme.) All research projects will be co-advised by two faculty - with appointments from different departments - to ensure cross-disciplinarity during the formulation and implementation of IGERT fellows' research programs.

BME Graduate Student Awarded NJCSCR Fellowship
BME graduate student and IGERT fellow, Jeffrey Barminko, has been awarded a predoctoral fellowship from the New Jersey Commission on Spinal Cord Research for his project entitled “Encapsulated MSCs for Spinal Cord Injury Repair”. The 2 year, $60,000 fellowship will support Jeff, while he investigates approaches to augment MSC cyto-protective properties via novel methods for delivering MSC in vivo. Jeff is performing his studies under the guidance of Professors Martin Yarmush, Rene Schloss, and Martin Grumet. The Fellowship is slated to begin in June, 2010 at the conclusion of Jeff's support as an IGERT Fellow.
Congratulations!
IGERT Fellows Aaron Carlson and Mohamed Sadik took 1st and 3rd place (respectively) in the Poster Presentations at the 3rd Annual NJ Stem Cell Symposium held Thursday, September 24, 2009. Aaron Carlson's poster was titled “3-D Electrospun Polymer Scaffolds Promote Human Embryonic Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Controlled Organization". Mohamed presented “Electroporation-Mediated Molecular Delivery”. Jonathan Davilla took 2nd place with “Identification of Biologically Functional microRNAs in Vicodin onlineHuman ESCs by Ago2 Immunoprecipitation and Sequencing”. The keynote address was delivered by Hakim Djaballah, PhD of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Congratulations to Professor Ki-Bum Lee, Stem Cell IGERT Faculty in Chemistry and Chemical Biology, who is the recipient of the NIH Director’s New Innovator award, 2009.
The NIH Director's New Innovator Award program is designed specifically to support unusually creative early stage investigators with highly innovative research ideas at an early stage of their career.
