PUMPed for Stat Madness
The mini-PUMP is a project led by Dr. Christos Michas, a CELL-MET trainee alumnus, and enabled by many CELL-MET collaborations. It is a microscale replica of a heart chamber poised to change the future of medicine and organ engineering. The mini-PUMP – made from nanoengineered parts and human heart tissue – can help scientists better […]
