Microfluidic Fiber Fabrication for Applications in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Abstract

The primary objective of this I-Corps project is to investigate the transition and commercialization of microfluidic fabrication of flexible microfibers for biotechnology applications such as 3D cell culture systems and regenerative stem cell therapies. The value of the innovation will be demonstrated through developing a clear and compelling value proposition that articulates how the proposed manufacturing technology and bio-inspired materials can help overcome current deficiencies of microfibers currently used in biotechnology applications and the quantifiable benefits that can be provided.
