We are a group of senior undergraduate students in the Bioengineering Department at UC San Diego who were mentored by Dr. Robert Saddawi-Konefka. For the 2022-2023 Academic Year, we were Senior Design Group 24, with the project titled "Tissue Engineered Lymph Node Scaffold to Rescue αCTLA4 Response in Head and Neck Cancer". We won the Best in Communication Award at the poster sessions of Bioengineering Day 2023.
