Texas A&M’s College of Engineering, has been leading groundbreaking research and creating inspiring opportunities for his students. In this episode, President Welsh sits down with Jain and one of his former students, Ashley Chuong, who is now at the School of Engineering Medicine in Houston. President Welsh explores Jain and Chuong’s work with “organ-on-a-chip” technology to study diseases like ovarian cancer and cardiovascular disease. This research has implications that reach all the way to space, as Jain uses the technology to simulate aging in outer space. Discover the life-changing impact Texas A&M professors are having not just on science but on students like Chuong.
