A huge congrats to DR. Ande Marini @Marini_Ande on a successful and wonderful PhD thesis defense. It has been a pleasure to watch her grow. Ande’s leadership and collaborative nature will be sorely missed in the @PittVbl and I know she will do well as a post-doc at @Stanford.

Fun being the @cmu_bme seminar speaker today. We’re next door neighbors/collaborators but don’t always take the time to slow down and really visit with each other. Today we did. Thanks to @PittVbl for surprising me with your presence as I presented your amazing collective work.

rdcu.be/dyhqc Excited to have this published in Nature's Scientific Reports! We use machine learning methods to predict future outcomes for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms based on data collected on them today. #AAA #AI #MachineLearning
Some good news for the x-verse! Our publication in scientific reports has been published exploring image-based metrics and patient outcomes using AI techniques: tinyurl.com/4czjj3w8 @DavidVorp @nlliang @PeteGueldner @PittVbl

Endometriosis affects approximately 11% of women in the U.S., yet it is severely understudied. Enter, the Hub for Endometriosis Research, a first-of-its-kind research collaboration by Magee-Womens & @PittEngineering. What is HER? Find out: bit.ly/48sBsqu

Check out the cover story for the current #Magee Magazine! #Endometriosis is such a tragically understudied and #underfunded condition that impacts so many women around the world. @MageeWomens @UPMC @PittTweet @PittResearch @PittBioE

Really proud of my PhD student @i_chickanosky for taking first prize in her pitch at the PDMA competition last night for our project #EndoDx! We will soon make a difference for women suffering from #endometriosis !! @timechg
PITT DOMINATES PDMA! 😄 Last night, 3 out of 4 prizes were awarded to @PittTweet student startup teams at this year's PDMA Competition! Pitt has now won "Best in Show" 4 times & "Best Grad Team" 3 times! Phenomenal job from all of our teams — you've made Pitt proud! #H2P 💙💡
