Young Joon Suh, Graduate Student

Email: ys668@cornell.edu

Office: B81 Riley-Robb Hall

Young Joon received his BS in Biological Engineering at Cornell University. As a graduate researcher in the Wu Lab, Young Joon is studying the effect that the sugar glycation of the 3D collagen ECM has on the tumor cell and tumor spheroid invasion. Additionally, Young Joon is involved in various tumor microfluidic device experiments to enhance our understanding of different chemokines that results in the chemoinvasion of the cancer cells and cancer spheroids in the ECM microenvironments.

Faith Muriuki, Graduate student of Biomedical Engineering 

Email: fmm73@cornell.edu

Office: B81 Riley Robb Hall

Faith was born in Kenya , and grew up in Alabama . She received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). In the lab, she is passionate about cancer research. Outside of it, she loves reading and tv shows.

Cass Nordmann, Graduate Student

Emai:  csn39@cornell.edu

Office: B81 Riley-Robb Hall

Cass (she/they) grew up in  Orlando, Florida. She earned her BS in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Florida and completed a postbac at the National Institutes of Health. Her research interests include studying the role of radiation-induced mechanical changes to the extracellular matrix in the ability of natural killer cells to eliminate tumor cells. Outside of the lab, she likes to spend her time listening to podcasts with her cat.

Mrinal Pandey, Graduate Student

Email: mp755@cornell.edu

Mrinal joined Wu's Biofluidics lab in Spring 2020. She is working on gaining a better understanding of 3D tumor micro-environment and the role it plays in tumor metastasis. Her current work focuses on the role of compressive forces on tumor invasion. Before joining Cornell, she completed her master's degree in Medical Biotechnology from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. During her master's she worked on microfluidic chip fabrication and development of a protein assay for detection of Host Cell Protein (HCP) during drug development.

Larissa Gaul, Graduate Student

Email: lg584@cornell.edu

Larissa is a first year PhD student and have a Bachelor of Environmental Engineering with a minor in Energy & Environmental Policy from University of Delaware. In Dr. Wu's lab, she'll mainly be working on algal bloom projects, including algal cell response to factors like light.

Kaitlyn Roach, Undergraduate Student

Email: ker238@cornell.edu

Kaitlyn Roach is a sophomore majoring in biological engineering at Cornell. She is from the Bay Area, California. Kaitlyn is currently working on a project focusing on the effects of compression on tumor invasion for different breast cell cancer lines. She is working with Mrinal Pandey.

Hannah Davis, Undergraduate Student

Email: hjd34@cornell.edu

Hannah is a sophomore in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, studying biology and concentrating in computational biology. She is from Warwick, NY. Hannah is working toward developing her own project regarding hyaluronic acid and its effect on cancer progression. She is working under Mrinal Pandey

Alan Li, Undergraduate Student

Email: atl56@cornell.edu

Alan is junior majoring in Biological Engineering and minoring in Biomedical Engineering. He is from Golden, Colorado and is currently working on determining if changes in tumor spheroid fluidity and tumor cell motility in response to changes in the tumor microenvironment diagnostically indicate a higher risk of tumor invasion.
