Nanoscale 3D Printing Enables Bioelectronic Medicine Research
When Professor Alice White (ME, MSE, Physics, BME) came to BU in 2013 as chair of Mechanical Engineering, she was keen to encourage the sort of cross-disciplinary research she had experienced as chief scientist at the storied Bell Labs. For her own research, she set up a powerful 3D-printing tool with nanoscale resolution—at the time, one of only three labs in the country with this tool. In addition to her personal projects, she hoped to attract collaborators whose research could be advanced using this capability.
