February 8, 2021
The Montana State University Women’s Center will present virtual Sack Lunch Seminar
“Mentorship & Microfluids: High Quality Medical Care for All” on Wednesday, February 10th. Dr. Stephanie McCalla, Associate Professor in Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemical Engineering senior Mikayla Wood will present from noon–1pm. This online program is part of the MentHERship: Women in STEM series.
Dr. McCalla and Wood are working to engineer faster and cheaper alternatives to current medical diagnostics with the goal of improving access to medicine. They use tools like microfluidics, which are miniature devices that can manipulate small volumes of fluids, to detect and quantify indicators of disease. They will also discuss the important role that mentorship plays in the lab for women in STEM.
