04/21/2017: Thanks to all who participated in our second mini-retreat at RPI to discuss research synergies at the interface of engineering and cancer biology. This second edition was hosted at RPI on April 19th and was quite a dense day!
01/30/2017: The lab was awarded a 5 year R01 starting in April 2017 and focusing on the role of tumor heterogeneity on receptor engagement (RO1 CA207725). This three PIs grant is a collaborative effort between Dr. Corr's lab at RPI, Dr. Barroso's group at AMC and us. We will further develop our MFMT technology and apply it to bioprinted tissue to investigate the efficacy of targeted drug delivery in controlled heterogeneous tumors.
