The company was co-founded by CTO Dana Anderson, who is also a fellow of JILA and professor in the department of physics and electrical & computer engineering.
Led by professors Jianliang Xiao and Wei Zhang, researchers are developing a wearable electronic device that鈥檚 鈥渞eally wearable鈥濃攁 stretchy and fully-recyclable circuit board that鈥檚 inspired by, and sticks onto, human skin.
Mechanical Engineering Professor Franck Vernerey, Assistant Mechanical Engineering Professor Carson Bruns and ATLAS Institute received $477,000 from the National Science Foundation to begin this three-year project in January 2021. Their research may one day enable soft machines to fully integrate with our bodies to deliver drugs, target tumors, or repair aging or dysfunctional tissue.
The facile nature of assembly allows for primary cells, stem cells, or cell lines to be incorporated throughout the porous scaffold. Each microgel can be loaded with proteins or small molecules for localized delivery at defined concentrations.
Novel PARP1/2 inhibitor compounds that interact with the HPF1 part of the PARP active site to form more stable and effective inhibitors can be used for treating cancer, neurotoxicity and vascular disease.
