This award was developed to recognize an individual who has sustained outstanding achievement in mentoring undergraduates in research activities.  \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMcDevitt has been an assistant professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering Department since August of 2004, and since this time he has exhibited a sincere dedication for undergraduate research in many different ways.  His passion for undergraduate research stems from the significant impact such an experience had on his own career path, as he had the opportunity to conduct research as an undergraduate at Duke University.  This experience led him to graduate school to pursue a Ph.D. and ultimately landed him at Georgia Tech. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMcDevitt has supervised more than 25 undergraduate researchers in his laboratory.  Many of these students have presented at national meetings, co-authored peer-reviewed publications, and received numerous awards and honors for the research they conducted.  McDevitt\u2019s philosophy is to train undergraduates to be independent researchers with projects of their own and not to simply serve as an extra set of hands within the laboratory.  Due largely to their experience working in the McDevitt laboratory, several undergraduates have gone on to pursue graduate degrees in engineering, science and medicine at leading international institutions.  Notably, 3 of 3 eligible students who formerly worked in the McDevitt laboratory received NSF Graduate Research Fellowships and are currently enrolled in top 10 Bioengineering graduate schools.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAs a result, 13 students received one or more Georgia Tech Presidential Undergraduate Research Awards (PURA) during their tenure with the McDevitt laboratory and 4 of those undergraduate students successfully wrote and received Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) grants for additional materials and supplies to support their research.  Five students were selected for the Petit Undergraduate Research Scholars Program and 3 BME undergraduates were named Birnbaum Scholars--the most of any laboratory in the department since the inception of the award in 2006.  In the spring of 2009, Scott Seaman, who worked in the McDevitt laboratory for nearly 2 years, received the Most Outstanding Researcher award from the Department of Biomedical Engineering and also the College of Engineering.  \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn addition to directly mentoring undergraduate students in his personal laboratory, McDevitt has been an active leader in several other facets of undergraduate research at Georgia Tech.  For the past 3 years, he has voluntarily served as the faculty advisor for the Petit Undergraduate Research Scholars program.  McDevitt has successfully reinvigorated the program by increasing the quality and quantity of undergraduate student applicants, as well as, the number of labs interested in mentoring students, in order to elevate the stature of the program.  Additionally, with the help of the IBB staff, new mechanisms were implemented to track students\u2019 progress and career development in order to quantify the outcomes of participation in the program.  \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information visit the McDevitt Lab - Engineering Stem Cell Technologies - \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.mcdevitt.bme.gatech.edu\u0022 title=\u0022www.mcdevitt.bme.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ewww.mcdevitt.bme.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Todd McDevitt, Ph.D. has been awarded the 2010 Junior Faculty Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor Award from Georgia Institute of Technology.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"McDevitt Awarded 2010 Jr Faculty Outstanding Undergrad Research"}],"uid":"27211","created_gmt":"2010-02-22 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:05:38","author":"Alyceson Andrews","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2010-02-22T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2010-02-22T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/mcdevitt.bme.gatech.edu\/","title":"Visit the McDevitt Lab- Engineering Stem Cell Technologies"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

Theoretically, almost unlimited supplies of cells and tissues could be generated from a single clonal source if we can regulate PSC growth and differentiation.

Cell-cell communication is also an important consideration in PSC culture; at low cell densities cell growth rates diminish while at high cell densities spontaneous differentiation occurs. Finally, mechanical signals have recently been shown to affect self-renewal and differentiation. I will discuss examples that illustrate how each of these microenvironmental stimuli can be incorporated in culture systems to expand or differentiate PSCs along desired lineages. We have developed materials that confine PSC colonies to specific sizes and shapes to assess how colony morphology affects self-renewal and differentiation toward therapeutically-relevant lineages. We have found that colony morphology affects activity of signaling pathways that have been implicated in development, and efficiency of cardiac myocytes differentiation. I will also discuss how the temporal presentation of soluble differentiation factors (e.g. retinoic acid and bone morphogenic proteins) and regulation of tyrosine kinase signaling pathways can be utilized to obtain pure populations of stratified epithelial progenitors, which can then differentiate to terminal cells such as epidermal keratinocytes.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ERegulating human pluripotent stem cell differentiation via chemical cues.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Regulating human pluripotent stem cell differentiation\u0022 - Sean Palecek - University of Wisconsin"}],"uid":"27224","created_gmt":"2013-06-30 14:33:14","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:47:45","author":"Megan McDevitt","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-01-26T07:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2010-01-26T08:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-01-26T08:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-01-26 12:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-01-26 13:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-01-26 13:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

Beyond cell replacement technologies, stem cells may also serve as a unique source of potent morphogenic factors capable of improving the wound healing of injured tissues and treatment of chronic diseases.  Thus, our laboratory is focused on the engineering of innovative approaches to translate the potential of stem cells into effective cellular and molecular technologies for regenerative medicine.  In order to improve the efficiency and homogeneity of directed differentiation strategies, we are developing biomaterials-based approaches to spatiotemporally control the presentation of molecular cues within the stem cell microenvironment that influence morphogenesis.  The ability of hydrodynamic forces to manipulate environmental conditions and modulate stem cell fate is also being examined as a novel, scalable means to direct differentiated cell phenotypes.  In addition to directing stem cell differentiation, we also seek to develop novel regenerative molecular therapies from morphogens uniquely produced by stem cells.  For this reason, we are assessing the production of morphogenic factors by pluripotent embryonic stem cells undergoing differentiation and producing stem cell-derived matrices for acellular tissue therapies.  It is expected that engineering of stem cell differentiation and derivation of stem cell biotherapeutics will yield fresh insights into stem cell and developmental biology, as well as new regenerative medicine therapies and in vitro diagnostic technologies.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0027http:\/\/mcdevitt.bme.gatech.edu\/\u0027\u003EVisit the McDevitt ESCT Laboratory\u003C\/a\u003E\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETo view video:  \u003Ca href=\u0027http:\/\/smartech.gatech.edu\/handle\/1853\/27813\u0027\u003EMcDevitt - Breakfast Club Seminar\u003C\/a\u003E\n\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Todd McDevitt, PhD - IBB Breakfast Club Seminar"}],"field_summary":[{"value":"Engineering Stem Cell Technologies - A video library of Todd McDevitt giving an overview of his laboratory at the Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Engineering Stem Cell Technologies - IBB Breakfast Club Seminar"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2009-04-29 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:06:11","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2009-04-21T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2009-04-21T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/smartech.gatech.edu\/handle\/1853\/27813","title":"View Video Here"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
