we recently had the opportunity to attend the open house session at the CRAFT, and it was truly an inspiring and forward-thinking event. Engaging with cutting-edge research and world-class facilities reinforced my passion for innovation in microfluidics, biosensing, and organ-on-a-chip technologies.
Highlights from the event included:
A fascinating lecture by Milica Radisic on “A Platform for Generation of Chamber-Specific Cardiac Tissues and Disease Modeling”, showcasing groundbreaking work in cardiac tissue engineering.
Insightful discussion by Daniel Franklin on “Fabrication of Permeotubes by 3D Printing of Granular Elastomers”, opening new avenues in advanced materials and fabrication.
An engaging talk by Yufeng Zhao on “Engineering Advanced Organ-on-a-Chip Systems with Integrated Biosensing”, which strongly aligns with my current work and future goals.
A special thank you to:
Jennifer Doucet, PhD, PMP for organizing such a valuable event and fostering collaboration opportunities.
Dan Voicu for the insightful facility tour and showcasing the impressive infrastructure.
Axel Guenther for contributing to this impactful initiative and advancing innovation in the field.
Being part of this environment strengthens my enthusiasm for leveraging microfluidic platforms, biosensors, and organ-on-chip systems to drive translational research and real-world healthcare solutions.
Looking forward to future collaborations and opportunities within this incredible ecosystem
