CELL-MET Featured in NSF Article: “Biofabricating human tissues enhanced through use of gallium”
The manufacturing technique known as 3D printing, now being used everywhere, from aircraft manufacturers to public libraries, has never been more affordable or accessible. Biomedical engineering has particularly benefited from 3D printing as prosthetic devices can be produced and tested more rapidly than ever before. However, 3D printing still faces challenges when printing living tissues, […]

FIU’s Lihua Lou named Early Career Stop Heart Disease Researcher of the Year
There are only so many ways to heal a broken heart, at least medically speaking. But thanks to new research, a promising treatment may be on the way. Just ask FIU postdoctoral researcher Lihua Lou, who has been named the 2023 Early Career Stop Heart Disease Researcher of the Year by the Florida Heart Research […]
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 […]
