===A MEMS Approach to Drug Delivery===

Abstract:
Novel micro- and nanotechnologies enable translational engineering solutions for next generation therapies to address vital unmet medical needs.  In particular, the Biomedical Microsystems Laboratory is interested in the integration of multiple modalities (e.g. electrical, mechanical, and chemical) in miniaturized devices measuring no more than a few millimeters for use in fundamental scientific research, biomedical diagnostics, and therapy.  Our approach focuses on the investigation of novel microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fabricated from biocompatible polymers for in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo use.  This talk will describe efforts to produce polymer-based microsystems for drug delivery devices in several applications including the management of incurable ocular diseases, cancer, and small animal research.
