"It’s a clear signal that Brown’s trying to develop you overall as a person, not just as a PhD program trying to get that paper out of you and make sure that you can test well when it comes to your discipline. Brown within it’s DNA and its culture, people are overall very supportive. Busy, but supportive."

"Surgeons put our grafts into clinical trials, which was obviously exciting, but as we were watching the surgeon implant the first graft, he told us that the patient had a infection at the burn site. As he mentioned that, we realized our model had only been developed in aseptic conditions and wasn’t necessarily equipped to deal with infected sites. Although it did hold in several patients, our skin did not replace the current standard, and we have since returned to the lab to keep working and taking into consideration what we realized when seeing our skin graft being applied to a patient."

“The main problem with total wrist replacement is that it has a lower success rate with respect to other joint replacements, like total knee or total hip replacement. And we believe that the discrepancy in movement between the implant and the actual wrist is the cause of high failure rates. The implants can not seem to mimic the actual joint movement.”

"I have a dream of running my lab like google. My students have at least one primary project that they spend the majority of their time on but then I want them to have 20% of the time to roam free and do something they think is cool. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn’t."
