CPTAC Establishes Formal Relationships with Two Academic Institutions in Taiwan

Inexpensive 3-D-printed microfluidics device could be used to personalize cancer treatment. A key feature in this MIT-designed device was using a new biocompatible resin — traditionally used for dental applications — that can support long-term survival of biopsied tissue.

Researchers have created a portable and fast-acting test that can distinguish Ebola infections from other fever-causing infectious diseases such as Lassa fever and malaria in around 30 minutes. Although further testing is required, this could be useful during febrile disease outbreaks.

A team of NYU researchers has solved a longstanding puzzle of how to build ultra-sensitive, ultra-small electrochemical sensors with homogenous and predictable properties by discovering how to engineer graphene structure on an atomic level.
