Hyunseo Seok is an Honors College Fellow studying Biomedical Engineering in the College of Engineering. He is working under Dr. Younghye Song of the Biomedical Engineering department. His project is focused on developing a spinal cord injury mimic using a collagen and decellularized spinal cord composite.
My name is Ahmed Tolba, a Biomedical Engineering major in the University of Arkansas College of
Engineering. This research was conducted under the mentorship of Dr. Chris Nelson during the Spring
2024 semester. I am a premed student with aspirations to combine patient care and scientific discovery in
my future career. Our research focused on understanding macrophage polarization using the CRISPR
dCas9-KRAB system. We aimed to create a cell line expressing dCas9-KRAB and clone specific gRNAs
(guide RNAs) targeting the inflammatory genes IL-6 and IL1β. This work sets the stage for later studies
on immune-related disorders in vitro and in vivo.
