In the summer of 2021, Jack Zamen joined the Bifano Lab. As part of his research experience, he designed and implemented a system to electrically stimulate and pace engineered heart tissue. This pacing is important to maturing the cells.
More about My Experience
During his research experience, Jack gained new experience in electrical engineering and learned how to use many new tools. He recommends future REUs remain open minded and ready to learn throughout their time in Boston. Jack says that by asking questions he easily learned his way around the lab and its various instruments as well.
After completing his research experience, Jack went on to earn his BS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering from Texas A&M University. After graduation, he went on to become a clinical specialist at Boston Scientific and is now pursuing his medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston.
