Dr. Syeda Rubaiya Nasrin Receives Outstanding Presentation Award at BSJ Chugoku-Shikoku Meeting
Dr. Syeda Rubaiya Nasrin, a postdoctoral researcher at WPI-SKCM², received an Outstanding Presentation Award at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society of Japan, Chugoku-Shikoku Branch (17th Meeting), held at Ehime University from May 16–17, 2026.
Dr. Nasrin’s research focuses on understanding how topology and alignment influence stress propagation and failure in cytoskeletal assemblies using a hybrid liquid crystal-based approach. The work was carried out within the interdisciplinary research environment of WPI-SKCM².
Regarding the award, Dr. Nasrin commented:
“I aim to quantify how topology and alignment govern stress propagation and failure in cytoskeletal assemblies using a hybrid liquid crystal-based approach. This approach has been made possible by the research environment at WPI-SKCM². Receiving an award for this early-stage work is not only a recognition of its acceptance within the scientific community but also a strong motivation for me to continue developing this project further.”
