The Multiscale Biomaterials Engineering Laboratory is focused on developing novel microfluidic, nanoscale, and stem-cell technologies for the treatment and early detection of various diseases including but not limited to cancer, reproductive disorders, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The laboratory is capable of performing chemical synthesis, production and characterization of micro and nanoparticles of various biomaterials (e.g., hydrogel, polymer, lipid, silica, and carbon), freeze-drying, high temperature and vacuum drying, soft lithography, cell culture, thermal analysis, photothermal therapy, magnetothermal therapy, cryotherapy, cryopreservation, and real time digital imaging.
