Professor Pompano is on her way to Gyeongju South Korea to the Microtas conference! She will be presenting on the device that has been designed and extensively characterized by Dr. Ashley Ross and Jacob Woodroof. We wish her safe travels and hope she brings back some new techniques to try! Click on the image to see more about the conference in general
Prof. Pompano visited Virginia Commonwealth University's Chemical and Life Science Engineering department yesterday, presented our work on lymph node stimulation, and had a series of stimulating conversations with the researchers there. Many thanks to Dr. Christina Tang for the invitation!
Everyone has done some great work this summer and we have really made some great progress towards our lab goals! We have all learned a lot of new skills and have some cool new instruments, including a brand new Zeiss Zoom! We are all looking forward to the new school year and to continuing the work we have started this summer.

The Pompano group would like to welcome three new members to the group this summer.
Drake Dixon and Ben Groff both rising second years at the University of Virginia and Ziad Shafi a rising second year at the University of Richmond.
We look forward to the great work they and all the group members will accomplish in our first summer of research at UVA!
Congratulations to Ashley on being selected to give a platform talk at the 2015 UVA Postdoctoral Research Symposium! The symposium brought together postdocs and faculty from across grounds to share research and meet one another.
