An additive manufacturing approach to printing cells and microbeads within digitally addressed hydrogel matrices
 
Rapid prototyping of new hydrogel-based structures, including tissue scaffolds, organs-on-chip, and hybrid bioelectronic materials, requires flexible fabrication techniques capable of positioning multiple materials in 2D and 3D with micro-scale resolution and accuracy. Despite their impressive accomplishments, current methods for micro-scale additive manufacturing are limited to a single material (e.g. projection micro stereolithography) or require sequential or parallel use of multiple nozzles to deposit different materials.  An alternative approach would […]

Invited MBSTP Seminar: Microparticle synthesis

I’ll be speaking to the Microfluidics and Biomedical Sciences Training Program on “Maskless optofluidic synthesis of precision polymer microparticles for biointerfaces.”

This is will be an exciting opportunity to learn about the critical factors in manufacturing microparticles via maskless optofluidics.  In addition we will be discussing several applications the combine technology and this synthesis process such magnetic microparticles for drug delivery.

Food provided!  February 11, 2013 at noon in 1180 Duderstadt.
