Education
Candidate for BSE Biomedical Engineering, 2007, Duke University
Areas of Special Interest
Jenny joined the lab as a SUNFEST student for the summer of 2006. She will be researching the cell as a sensor, specifically chondrocyte response to mechanical stimulation for use in cartilage tissue engineering. In her free time, she can be found rewatching Duke basketball games, searching for bubble tea, and losing pool games by sinking the eight ball.
