St. Louis, MO – Samantha Zambuto recently attended the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Signal Transduction by Engineered Extracellular Matrices, where she presented her research on “Biomimetic Matrices for Modeling Uteroplacental Interfacing.” The seminar, which took place in a dynamic forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers, focused on exploring engineered microenvironments to study tissue heterogeneity and address underserved diseases and populations in biomedical research. Samantha’s poster highlighted innovative approaches for designing tissue-engineered constructs to reduce complications in pregnancy. This GRC meeting provided a platform for early-career scientists to engage in scientific discussions, develop collaborative relationships, and explore diverse career opportunities in academia, industry, and publishing.
