Our final episode in a series of 3, interviewing Dr. Brian Diekman. Hope you enjoy! Edited by Quinten Curtis

Join us as we discuss biomedical, tissue, and genetic engineering with Dr. Brian Diekman (also Chinmay's BMME 511; Genetic Engineering Professor now!) Edited by: Quinten Curtis

Part 2 of a three-part series interviewing Dr. Brian Diekman, renowned arthritis and tissue engineering researcher and professor at UNC-Chapel Hill within the Lampe Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering.

In this episode, we dive deep into the workings of the National Science Foundation, headed by Dr. Sethuraman Panchanathan. Join us as we discuss the frontiers of science, science education, and more in our first video episode! Edited by Quinten Curtis

Join us as we speak with Dr. Eric Hastie, professor of Biology and co-director of the CBER Lab at UNC (the other co-director has also been on the podcast; check out Dr. Ott's episode!) Dr. Hastie is especially cool, as Chinmay had him for BIOL 101 and loved his teaching, so join us as we dive into his life, work, and accomplishments! Edited by: Quinten Curtis

Join us as we speak with Dr. Pallav Kosuri, genius scientist and Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, California. Him and his lab's work was featured in Mark Rober's (Former NASA Engineer and YouTuber) video titled "World’s Smallest Nerf Gun Shoots an Ant," where he assists Rober to create the world's smallest Nerf gun. Join JP, Chinmay, and Pa...

Dr. Robert Langer is the most cited engineer in history, a co-founder of Moderna, and is known as the father of tissue engineering; without him, Chinmay wouldn't have a major! While the list of his accomplishments goes on and on, this episode dives into what his accomplishments mean, what the future of Biomedical Engineering looks like, and who Dr. Robert Langer truly is as a person. This is o...

In this episode, we are interviewing Dr. Eric Green, Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and instrumental figure in the genome project. Join us as we discuss the latest in human genomics, Dr. Green's fascination with mentorship, and more.

Join us as we dive into Dr. Karolin Luger's work and her research as the scientist who discovered the nucleosome and is continuing to pioneer groundbreaking work in her lab at CU Boulder. This episode was hosted in collaboration with another UNC student (although this one is a PhD candidate), JP Flores, host of From Where Does it STEM?, a podcast focusing on DEI in science.

Join us as we interview the Vice Chancellor of Research at UNC, Dr. Penny Gordon-Larsen. In this episode, we are examining research through the lens of Dr. Gordon-Larsen, a policymaker responsible for managing over a billion dollars in funding, as well as her research as an internationally renowned obesity and cardiovascular researcher.

Dr. Laura Ott is a biology professor at UNC Chapel Hill and our former instructor, as well as Co-Director of the CBER (Carolina Biology Education Research) Lab, studying research techniques for improving education in biology. Join us as we dive into the world of education in biology, her journey as a researcher, and the exciting world of neutrophils.

In episode 2 of BioCast, we explore neurodevelopmental disorders and current research surrounding them with a prominent researcher in the field, Dr. Jason Stein. Dr. Stein is the PI of the Stein Lab where Chinmay is a research assistant, and has authored many papers on neurodevelopmental disorders and neurogenetics.
