Prof. Deng was nominated by the Purdue Student Union Board (PSUB) students to participate in “Family University”, a new Purdue Family Weekend initiative. Family University is an opportunity for students, parents and family members to enjoy short lectures together by faculty members who make learning interesting and engaging, as nominated by students. Prof. Deng gave a talk entitled ""Regenerative Biomaterials: Convergence of Materials Science, Cell Biology, and Translational Bioengineering" engaging with the families of our Purdue students (http://www.purdue.edu/parentandfamily/things_to_do/Family_Weekend/2015_FamilyUniversity.html).
