Health sciences PhD candidate Hyunjin Kim has accomplished award-winning stem cell research in the lab of Professor Aaron Bowman.Tim Brouk Written by: Tim Brouk, tbrouk@purdue.edu Hyunjin Kim discovered his career calling after taking an immunology course as an undergraduate at Hanyang University in South Korea. The only problem: He discovered his passion for human health one semester before he was to graduate with an international studies degree. By adding a last-minute major of bioengineering with his almost-completed international studies requirements, it raised eyebrows in his advisors office as well as back home in Seoul. My parents were not too happy about it, Kim admitted with a laugh. Kim as well as his mother and father can smile now as that last-minute decision set his career course more than 6,600 miles away to West Lafayette, where he would find a passion in stem cell research in the Purdue University College of Health and Human Sciences.

HSCI bridges the gaps in traditional research funding to encourage bold thinking and launch scientific careers. Through our disease programs, we channel world-class resources, both intellectual and technological, toward some of the most prevalent, devastating diseases for which stem cell research holds promise. In addition, our seed grants and junior faculty programs provide funding for innovative, early-stage projects in stem cell research. This allows up-and-comingscientists to pursue "high risk/high reward" avenues of research that might be difficult to fund from other sources

Stem cell cardiac patches have shown promising future for myocardium infarction (MI) therapy, but the characteristics of cardiac pulsation and tissue orientation lead to challenges in the design of cardiac repair scaffolds. Herein, a novel and multifunctional stem cell patch with favorable mechanical properties was reported. In this study, the scaffold was prepared by coaxial electrospinning of poly (CL-co-TOSUO)/collagen (PCT/collagen) core/shell nanofibers. Rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were seeded onto the scaffold to prepare the MSC patch. The nanofiber diameter of coaxial PCT/collagen was 945 102 nm, and the tensile testing results showed that the PCT/collagen core/shell nanofibers possess highly elastic mechanical properties with an elongation at break higher than 300%
