3D BIOPRINTING, BIOMANUFACTURING, AND SOFT MATTER MANUFACTURING

  • Title of project: 3D BIOPRINTING, BIOMANUFACTURING, AND SOFT MATTER MANUFACTURING
  • Funding agency (Optional): DoD, NSF
  • Description: Additive manufacturing techniques developed for creating 3D structures from living cells will be used to manufacture complex microtissues for applications in drug toxicity screening and basic biological investigations. These methods and materials will also be used to create 3D bioreactor environments for the mass production of living cells to support the biomanufacturing industry.  Additionally, a diversity of soft materials will be 3D printed for customized medical device applications.
  • Restrictions/Constraints: n/a
  • Knowledge and skills needed: Applicants should be self-motivated, professional, and organized; most skills and knowledge will be learned on-the-job. Previous experience in wet lab work is preferred but not required.
  • How to apply: Please send CV to Dr. Angelini
