Aisha wins PEAK Experiences Summit Research Award

Aisha Svihla, BS/MS student in Bioengineering, recently received the PEAK Experiences Summit Award for her project entitled, “Oxygen-controlling cell culture (OCC) Systems”. The Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships grants this award to individuals who have demonstrated a passion for research and a high level of sophistication and skill developed from previous academic endeavors.

With her project, Aisha aims to develop a tool that allows biomedical scientists to culture their cells in physiologically relevant oxygen concentrations (e.g., concentrations in the human body), as standard cell culture practices do not control oxygen.

Congrats Aisha!
