Breakthrough from the #MusahLab at @dukeubme.bsky.social!
Using human stem cell–based models & glomerulus-on-a-chip technology, researchers revealed how loss-of-function SMAD2 variants cause defective kidney tissue patterning & glomerular dysfunction.

This has been an incredible collaboration with #TarshaWard, #ChristineSeidman, #JonathanSeidman from @harvardmed.bsky.social, and huge thanks to my Ph.D. advisor @stemcellengineer.bsky.social, the #MusahLab members #LolaKalejaiye, #AlekMishra, #SophiaLeeman, #Hamidreza for making this work possible.
Announcing the 4th successful PhD dissertation defense from the Musah Lab at Duke University, by PhD student Yasmin Roye. Lab website: https://musahlab.pratt.duke.edu
Thrilled to announce the 4th successful PhD dissertation defense from the #MusahLab! Dr. Yasmin Roye’s work advanced patient-specific disease modeling, uncovered mechanisms of diabetic podocytopathies and revealed new therapeutic avenues. Congratulations on a remarkable scientific growth, Dr. Roye!🎉
Final #MusahLab publication of 2024 is here, open access! We explore epigenetics in hypertensive nephropathy, a major contributor to kidney disease & rising healthcare cost. Congratulations to PhD students/coauthors Yize Zhang, Hamidreza Arzaghi, Zhehan Ma, & Yasmin Roye! tiny.cc/epigenHN
Dr. Xingrui Mou is being celebrated by the Musah Lab at Duke University for his successful PhD thesis defense and becoming the 3rd graduate student from the Musah Lab to achieve this milestone. He is pictured with a huge smile while holding a mug with the text 'Dr. Mou" on it. Members of the Musah Lab research group are also pictured as they celebrate Xingrui for his successful work on engineering biomaterials and microfluidic organ chip devices for tissue engineering and disease modeling.
Big congratulations to Dr. Xingrui Mou on defending his PhD and becoming the 3rd PhD grad from #MusahLab! 🎉 His work on engineering vascularized #microfluidic #OrgansOnChips & disease modeling is remarkable. His next stop: Postdoc at #NYSCF! Check out his research publications: tinyurl.com/MusahLab
TEDx talk by an inspiring #MusahLab undergrad researcher and recent Duke BME & CS graduate, Sophia Leeman! She dives into some of our lab's work using stem cell derivatives to engineer patient-specific preclinical models, helping us uncover disease mechanisms and identify new and safe therapeutics.
