Announcing the First Early Career Editorial Advisory Board

Meet the early career researchers selected for 2023 View in Browser SUBMIT AN ARTICLE MANAGE MY ALERTS ABOUT THE JOURNAL Biomicrofluidics Introducing the First Early Career Editorial Advisory Board Biomicrofluidics considers the research and contributions from early career researchers to be critical to the progression and advancements of the field. The journal has supported early career researchers for over a decade by spotlighting the top research with the early career Best Paper Award.  New in 2023, Biomicrofluidics appoints a dedicated advisory board of early career scientists that are: Active researchers Engaged in the Biomicrofluidics community Working in an area of research that matches the scope of the journal Recipients of their Ph.D. within the past ten years (not including career breaks such as parental leave, disability leave, or elder care) The Early Career Editorial Advisory Board will have the opportunity to gain international exposure, meaningful involvement in the research community, and opportunities to contribute perspectives and reviews in impactful areas of research. We are thrilled to announce the 2023 Early Career Editorial Advisory Board members! Apply for the 2024 Early Career Editorial Advisory Board Are you interested in joining the Early Career Editorial Advisory Board? Know an early career scientist who might be interested? You may submit an application or nominate your colleagues or other eligible members of the community. Applications for the 2024 board will be considered through October 31, 2023. The editors will review the nominations, select potential members, and invite them to join the ECEAB. APPLY HERE THE 2023 EARLY CAREER ADVISORY BOARD Hasan Erbil Abaci Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY, USA Dr. Hasan Erbil Abaci is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Dermatology, Columbia University Medical Center, focusing on engineering of complex components of the skin and vascular tissues. He has received his Ph.D. degree in Dr. Sharon Gerecht's lab at the Johns Hopkins University in bioengineering and completed two postdoctoral trainings in Drs. Michael Shuler and Angela Christiano's labs, working on tissue engineering of blood-brain-barrier and skin, as part of the NCATS Microphysiological Systems consortium. Dr. Abaci's research is supported by private foundations and federal grants including the Ines Mandl Foundation, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), and Department of Defense (DoD). His research lies at the intersection of regenerative medicine, stem cells, and skin and endothelial biology and disease. Dr. Abaci's approach is based on reconstructing the integumentary system in vitro at different levels of complexity through (i) microfluidic-based iPSC-derived organoids, and (ii) 3D-printed multicomponent skin models with the motivation to understand, repair and regenerate the skin and its appendages, and with the dream of ultimately matching and achieving beyond the inherent capabilities of human tissues. Marco Costantini Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland Dr. Costantini is a researcher at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences. He holds a master's degree in industrial chemistry and a Ph.D. in chemical and processing engineering, both from La Sapienza University of Rome. Currently, he is leading a multidisciplinary team working at the convergence of materials science, biology, and microfluidics. His current research interests span from the development of digital manufacturing strategies for the synthesis of functionally graded porous materials with enhanced physicochemical properties to the invention of advanced strategies for in vitro modelling and in vivo repair of musculoskeletal system.

Xiangming Li Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China Xiangming Li obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China in 2014 studying surface and interface at microscale for microfluidics and microfabrication. He then worked as a lecturer (2014-2017), associate professor (2018-2020), and young top professor (2021-present) at School of Mechanical Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, and as a visiting researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champion (2016-2017). He was elected as Young Elite Scientists Sponsorship Program by China Association for Science and Technology, Young Scientist for National key research and development program, and won the silver award for HIWIN excellent doctoral dissertation. Darius Rackus Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto, Canada Darius Rackus is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biology at Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada where he established the Miniaturization in Bioanalysis Laboratory in 2021. His research focuses on bringing miniaturization to a broad range of problems in biology and medicine, with an emphasis on integrating electrochemical methods with microfluidics. Prior to this, he was a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow in the lab of Prof. Petra Dittrich in the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich where he worked on microfluidic platforms to study bacterial responses to antibiotics. He was awarded his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Toronto in 2017, where he developed tools for point-of-care uses of digital microfluidics under the supervision of Prof. Aaron Wheeler. Luoran Shang Fudan University, Shanghai, China Luoran Shang is currently an assistant professor at the Institutes of Biomedical Sciences, Fudan University. She received her Ph.D. degree from Southeast University in 2017 under the supervision of Prof. Yuanjin Zhao. She worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University with Prof. David Weitz from 2017 to 2019. Her research focuses on biomedical-relevant technologies, including microfluidics, and 3d printing, with special interests in microfluidic droplet-based microreactors, biosensors, drug delivery vehicles, and artificial cells.
