In October 2019, PhD student Megan Catterton represented the lab at SciX 2019 in the ANACHEM Award award session, a session in honor of Prof. Robert Kennedy receiving the ANACHEM award. Held in Palm Springs, CA, this special symposium included leaders in the field of microfluidics for bioanalysis. Meg made us proud!

Microfluidics GRC in Hong Kong
Prof. Pompano and Jennifer Ortiz made the trek to Hong Kong to present in the 2019 Gordon Research Conference for Physics and Chemistry of Microfluidics. It was a wonderful conference, filled with much exciting new data as well as new and old friends. Plus we had a great time exploring. Jenn’s poster, Rebecca’s poster on Meg and Sophie’s recent work, and Rebecca’s short talk went over well and we received lots of valuable feedback. Look for papers on these topics soon!
Prof. Pompano named a 2019 CMBE Rising Star
Rebecca was one of six new Rising Stars recognized with a plenary talk at the 2019 CMBE conference. What an honor to be among this prestigious group of assistant professors! The conference convened in San Diego, California at the start of the new year, and was a fantastic meeting filled with creative new approaches to engineering molecules, cells, and tissues to mimic the complex in vivo environment.
The Pompano Lab at AAI
Maura Belanger presented at the annual AAI conference held this year in Austin, Texas She presented her work on delivery of beads to lymph node slices. While there she saw some great talks and returned with a lot of new ideas for the lab. We look forward to the new insights and to following some of the scientific advancements coming out of this conference!
Nanomedicine symposium at Virginia Tech
Meg, Andrew, and Prof. Pompano attended the "2nd inaugural" NanoSymposium on Engineered Health, held this year at VA Tech in Roanoke, VA. Meg and Andrew presented posters and Prof. Pompano gave a talk, and we heard lots of great science from researchers across the state.

Immuno-materials syposium @ MRS
Dr. Pompano and Jennifer Ortiz flew to Phoenix to present at MRS 2018 (Materials Research Society national meeting), in a special 2-day symposium on Immuno-modulatory biomaterials. The symposium was organized by Susan Thomas (GA Tech), Evan Scott (Northwestern), and Kara Spiller (Drexel). Such exciting science is being done in this area, led by a wonderful community of researchers -- we are excited to see the innovations to come.
Andrew presents at Pittcon
PhD student Andrew Kinman represented our lab at Pittcon this year in Orlando in late February. He presented his exciting recent work in the Sunday poster session at this national gathering of analytical chemists. Many thanks to those who offered feedback on his project, a microfluidic device for optimization of protein derivatization reactions. We look forward to publishing his work in a few months!
Pompano group at MicroTAS
We are proud that Meg Catterton and Sangjo Shim both presented posters to the international audience MicroTAS 2017 in Savannah, Georgia this year. Their work was well received. We enjoyed talking with fellow microfluidics researchers from all over the world, and catching up with former Ismaglov lab members!
Prof. Pompano speaks at Hartwell Annual Meeting
Dr. Pompano presented our lab's latest work at the annual meeting of The Hartwell Foundation, held at Duke University. It was great to meet with approximately forty researchers all conducting creative, cutting-edge research to help the children of the United States. Many thanks to The Hartwell Foundation for such a stimulating meeting.
The Pompano Lab at ACS
After a very productive summer of research the Pompano Lab went to the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington DC. We presented two posters, one of which was featured at SciMix!
Thanks to everyone at ACS and here is to another productive year!
