Introductions to the Community: Early-Career Researchers in the Time of COVID-19.
Abstract
COVID-19 has unfortunately halted lab work, conferences, and in-person networking,
which is especially detrimental to researchers just starting their labs. Through social
media and our reviewer networks, we met some early-career stem cell investigators
impacted by the closures. Here, they introduce themselves and their research to our
readers.

Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering
The Musah Lab is interested in understanding how molecular signals and biophysical
forces can function either synergistically or independently to guide organ development
and physiology, and how these processes can be therapeutically harnessed to treat
human disease. Given the escalating medical crisis in nephrology as growing number
of patients suffer from kidney disease that can lead to organ failure, the Musah Lab
focuses on engineering stem cell fate for applications in human kidney disease,
