The BioMaRT Lab participated in ISEV 2026, contributing to a wide range of oral and poster presentations across sessions in extracellular vesicle engineering, characterization, and biomanufacturing. Throughout the conference, our team shared research spanning tissue-specific extracellular vesicles, biomaterial integration, EV production, and biosensing approaches, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of our work. The lab was also actively involved in…
PhD student Deisy J. Jiménez presented her research during the poster session at ISEV 2026. Her work, “Engineering bioinstructive layer-by-layer films through the integration of extracellular vesicles,” introduces a biomaterial strategy to incorporate EVs into layered systems, demonstrating successful integration and compatibility with cellular environments.
Dr. Camilo A. Mora contributed to ISEV 2026 in multiple roles as part of the conference program and organization. He served as chair of the session EV Engineering and Biomanufacturing, presented during the Meet the Locals satellite symposium, and participated in the Educational Day activities. He was also a member of the Local Organizing Committee. His talk, “Engineering Tissue Repair – Integrating EVs, Advanced ECM,…
PhD student María del Carmen Ramos Álamo presented her research during the Characterization session at ISEV 2026. Her work explores how extracellular vesicle cargo varies across tissues using a multi-omic approach that integrates proteomic and miRNA profiling, revealing tissue-specific signatures alongside a conserved EV core.
PhD student María del Carmen Ramos Álamo presented her research at SPIE Medical Imaging 2026 in Vancouver, Canada. She participated in the Student 3-Minute Poster Competition and presented during the Image Processing and AI/ML Applications track. Her work investigates whether morphological and texture features extracted from brightfield microscopy can distinguish fibroblast and myofibroblast states without…
PhD student María del Carmen Ramos Álamo presented her research at the Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE) 2026 Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, through both a poster and an oral presentation. Her work focused on the biological interpretation of fibroblast–myofibroblast differentiation, integrating experimental insights with computational approaches developed during her PhD. She attended the conference as a recipient…
PhD student María del Carmen Ramos Álamo presented her research at the 1st Symposium in Computer Science Research held at University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, where she received the Best Graduate Student Presentation Award. Her talk highlighted the computational component of her PhD research, applying image analysis and machine learningto study fibroblast–myofibroblast differentiation, in collaboration with Dr. Michael Alvarez (UPR-RP). We congratulate…
PhD student María del Carmen Ramos Álamo participated in a session of the IEEE EMBS UPRM Student Mentorship Program, where she shared her academic and research journey with undergraduate students. Her participation contributed to ongoing mentorship efforts aimed at supporting students interested in bioengineering and interdisciplinary research paths.
