Congratulations to Leah for presenting her Senior Thesis last Monday!

Thesis Spotlight: Leah Falk
Leah’s project focuses on the impact of Vitamin D on uterine fibroid-like behavior in a 3D laboratory model. Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growth in the uterus that make benign, yet painful tumors in females. Vitamin D inhibits fibroid development and evidence suggests Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of uterine fibroids. Using her mentor’s, Ally, hydrogel-based uterine fibroid model, she aims to explore the therapeutic effects of Vitamin D3 on fibroid-associated outcomes. This work can lead to improved prevention and non-surgical treatments for uterine fibroids.

Leah presents on May 11, 11:40am-12:00pm in AJC 2132. We are so proud of her efforts in the Moore Lab!

Ally is on a roll! On Monday, 4/27, she was awarded the Clark Doctoral Fellows Mid-Career Award. This honor recognizes high-performing, mid-stage engineering PhD students, including a financial prize and travel stipend to support her research efforts.

Congrats to Varun, our senior undergrad! With mentor Alison Veintimilla, he presented his work at the UMD Public Health Research Day and will be presenting at the UMD Undergraduate Research Day on the 22nd!

See his work on Wednesday at the Stamp Student Union, Grand Ballroom, Poster Session 2 from 3:15-4:15PM!

Congratulations to Dr. Moore for receiving the 2026 Distinguished Young Alumni Award at the Pratt School of Engineering! @dukeengineering

Congrats to Ally! She was awarded the SRI-Bayer President’s Presenter Award at the Society for Reproductive Investigation Annual Meeting on March 28th in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This award recognizes her outstanding commitment to researching uterine fibroids!

Honored to share that I’ve been named a 2026 Ford Global Fellow with the Ford Foundation 🥳

This year’s #FordGlobalFellows cohort includes 32 leaders working to dismantle inequality from the ground up.

I’m excited to continue building work that challenges how we design biomedical systems—and who we center in that process.

There’s always #MooreToCome 🤭😘
