Mission

The mission of the BioMEMS Resource Center is to develop and promote living-cell-based microdevices as key technologies in the Twenty-First Century medicine and biological sciences. By integrating engineering methods and biological research into novel microsystem technologies, the BioMEMS Resource Center is providing unique capabilities to biomedical investigators to probe, manipulate, engineer, and analyze biological cells for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic advances and basic biology discovery.

Our goals are to:

  • Provide biomedical investigators with novel microsystem engineering tools for biological discovery, diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic applications
  • Disseminate new tools of microfabrication to the biomedical community through ad-hoc on-site training on specific technologies, periodic workshops, seminars, and comprehensive courses
  • Offer technological assistance for projects and for technology transfer
