Nathaniel Cady, assistant professor of nanobioscience at College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE), will lead the research efforts in collaboration with assistant professor of nanobioscience Magnus Bergkvist.
Work to be performed will focus on the development of novel polymeric Surface Patterning Tools for the direct printing of live cells. Surface Patterning Tools are the microfluidic dispensers used by the Nano eNabler to print materials on a surface.
A secondary goal will be to evaluate and optimize the Nano eNabler system for printing molecules onto a variety of surface materials.
Alain Kaloyeros, senior vice president and CEO of CNSE, said, “Through this effort led by professor Nathaniel Cady, CNSE will further expand its growing educational and research initiatives in the field of nanobioscience, which promises exciting new advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a myriad of diseases in the 21st century.”
