David Juncker Lab

We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the Juncker lab's 12th annual workshop in microfluidics and 3D printing here at McGill University. We have several exciting modules to familiarize our participants with theory and practice for using microfluidics and 3D printing in biomedical research. We are also very pleased to have Professor Shuichi Takayama from Georgia Institute of Technology as our keynote speaker for the workshop.Please visit our webpage to register and find out more about the workshop schedule: https://juncker.lab.mcgill.ca/workshop 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🧬🦠🧪🔬

Kudos to Molly Shen and Brenda Shen for organizing a tour+social for the bioengineering undergraduate students at McGill University to learn more about the research we do at the Juncker lab and the Tabrizian lab! Thank you to everyone who joined and all the lab teachers for their help 👩🏻‍🔬👨🏻‍🔬🧫🔥

Yesterday was the last day of class for David’s Intro to Micro and Nanobioengineering course and Molly Shen baked a gorgeous red velvet cake for the class! Thank you Molly and all BMDE508 students on a great semester. Good luck on your grant proposals! 👨🏻‍🏫👩🏻‍💻👨🏻‍💻👩🏻‍💻👩🏻‍💻👨🏻‍💻🍰🧬

Kudos to Molly Shen who had a very busy month with three different poster presentations! Her hard work paid off and she brought home 3rd place prize for best poster presentation at the GCRC Research day! 👩‍🔬🔥💰🥉

Congrats to our Masters student Molly on joining the BBMESS counsil at McGill University as VP communications! https://www.instagram.com/p/B5BngXpgmp6/?igshid=19a4x8byl42by

Meet our VP Communications, Molly! She is a first year masters student under the supervision of Dr. Juncker. She focuses on developing analytical tools to better characterize the heterogeneity of cancer-derived exosomes as a potential liquid biopsy solution for cancer detection and monitoring. A fun fact about Molly is that her lab-mate created an Instagram account to document all the cakes she bakes for the lab. Since Molly’s arrival, the Juncker lab became significantly happier and perhaps a few pounds heavier! Swipe right to see Molly’s adorable golden retriever Ruby! #meetthecouncil

Great to see our past student Milad Dagher share his experience with his spin-off company from his PhD work at the Juncker lab! Go Nplex Biosciences! 👏🏼🧬

Please come check out the Biotech Entrepreneurship Event on November 20th at 3:30 pm. This event is hosted by the Montreal Student Chapter of the Canadian Biomaterials Society and features 3 McGill Alumni who are current CEOs and co-founders of several promising biotech start-ups in Montreal and two associate directors of our local incubator.

The Juncker lab page is back! Here is our latest group photo at our 2019 lab retreat as our comeback post 📸😎

Interesting!

Young Scientist Invents Better Method for Cancer Detection | Interesting Engineering In the spring of 2011 a close friend of the family of Jack Andraka has recently died of pancreatic cancer. At that time Jack was 15 y.o., he read up on the disease and discovered that nearly 85% of pancreatic cancers are diagnosed too late, when patients have no more than a 2% chance of survival.
