Trainee Spotlight – Anthony Aggouras

Happy Graduate & Professional Appreciation Week 2023!!!  To kick off the week, our first trainee spotlight on is Anthony Aggouras, a graduate student in the Connizzo Lab under PI Brianne Connizzo in the Biomedical Engineering Department in the College of Engineering. The Connizzo Lab takes a novel approach to understanding soft tissue aging by identifying age-related changes in: Cells, the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), and tissue mechanical function; the ability of cells to sense mechanical and biochemical cues through the ECM; and the homeostatic regulation of ECM structure through remodeling. Anthony has been an active member of our CMTM community, and took some time to answer our Q&A!
