Marisol and Karen gave talks in the “Morphogenesis” sessions at APS March Meeting. Thanks to Andrej Košmrlj and Zi Chen for organizing these great focus sessions!

Karen gave a talk in the Mechanics Seminar Series at UW Madison.  A big thank you to Corinne Henak and Wendy Crone for the invitation and for organizing such a great visit! Had a good time seeing old friends and meeting so many great researchers working at the intersection of mechanics and biology.

Xun and Ruiyi gave short soundbite talks at the Northeast Complex Fluids and Soft Matter Workshop (NCS10) at Rutgers University

An image of one of our fruit fly embryos is the banner for Columbia Engineering on College Walk!

Xun gives a soundbite talk at the 77th New England Complex Fluids Meeting at Harvard University!

Karen gives a talk at the 2nd International Symposium on MechanoMedicine at Columbia University. Thanks to Ed Guo and Lance Kam for the invite and for organizing such a fantastic meeting!

Karen has been named a 2018 Packard Fellow!

Karen gave the MMEC (Mechanics: Modeling, Experimentation, Computation) Seminar at MIT.  A big thank you to Irmgard Bischofberger and Ming Guo for the invitation and for organizing such a great visit!

Looking forward to classes starting again next week!  One of our lab's research images is the cover of the new Columbia Engineering Bulletin!

Marisol's review "Biophysical control of the cell rearrangements and cell shape changes that build epithelial tissues" is out in Current Opinion in Genetics & Development!  Read it here.

Karen gave a talk at the Mega Meeting at the Sloan Kettering Institute.  Thanks for the invite back!  It was great to see everyone!

Congrats to Dauris and Nabil on giving final presentations of their summer research in the lab as part of the Columbia E.N.G. Program.  Thanks to Columbia Engineering Outreach for organizing the program and to the NSF and ACS Project SEED for supporting this research!

Karen gives a talk at the Workshop on Multi-cellular Engineered Living Systems (M-CELS) in the session on "Developmental biology and regeneration".  Thanks to the organizers for the invitation and for organizing such a great workshop!

Kasza Lab Summer 2018!

Xun and Karen gave talks at the 8th World Congress of Biomechanics in Dublin.  Had a blast!

Karen gives a talk in the Symposium on the Mechanics of Biological Systems and Materials at the 2018 Society for Experimental Mechanics Annual Conference!

Xun gives a talk at the 9th Northeast Complex Fluids and Soft Matter Workshop (NCS9) at Penn!

Congrats to Marisol on giving a great talk at the GSA Annual Drosophila Research Conference in an excellent platform session on Patterning, Morphogenesis and Organogenesis!
