Overview
We work at the interface between nanotechnology, chemistry and biology using nanostructures to create smart materials via molecular self-assembly.
Focus:
- Rationally designed nanomaterials for tissue engineering (chemical synthesis, 3-D bioprinting of organs/tissues, organs-on-a-chip)
- Fabrication of ultra-sensitive biomedical sensors (bionic sensors, biomarker detection)
- Bench-to-bedside regenerative medical applications (cell therapy, stem cells, disease modeling)

It’s business and materials for starters in this week’s 3D Printing News Briefs, and then on to 3D printing for cultural heritage. Dyndrite has added two new members to its Developer Council, and Carbon introduced a new material, while KAUST is 3D printing peptide-based hydrogel scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. Finally, a 3D storytelling project at the Art Institute of Chicago could also be a good opportunity for institutional accountability and reconciliation with indigenous communities and artists.
