Second year IGERT fellow, Katrina Hansen is spending the summer setting up new collaborations at the University of Bath in Bath, England. She is working in the lab of Dr. Marianne Ellis alongside Dr. Ellis’ graduate student Sam Acott, who visited the Gaudette lab last year. Katrina is focusing on comparing cell seeding parameters on the fibrin threads that she has been pioneering in Prof. Gaudette’s lab at WPI.
Though busy with her research, Katrina had some time for site seeing. She recently went to London to enjoy the celebration of the Queen of England’s birthday. There she saw Queen in her horse drawn carriage during the parade.
