Vinay Abhyankar Awarded $79K from NIH
In collaboration with SiMPore, Dr. Abhyankar will develop Model Tissue Barriers
Vinay Abhyankar and this team will develop the commercial-ready µSiM platform with three nanoporous membrane offerings that provide glass-like imaging properties and integrate a removable fluidic module to apply physiological fluid shear stresses to form a viable vascular barrier. These tissue barriers are an important component of a growing market for 3D cell culture. Vinay is an assistant professor in the department of biomedical engineering in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering.

Student spotlight: Fine tuning a sense of touch
Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. Leila Daly, a fifth-year computer engineering technology student from Willingboro, N.J., is working on developing a sensor system for a more touch-responsive prosthetic finger.
