Cost Effective 3-D Printing Techniques Aids in Advancing Materials Research for CELL-MET
At Florida International University, some exciting alteration to an extrusion type 3D printer may lead to a cost-effective methodology for building scaffolds for cardiac tissue growth. This past summer, Tony Thomas, a postdoctoral associate working on CELL-MET research led efforts along with undergraduate researcher Briana Canet, one of the FIU undergraduates participating as an NSF […]
