Open House: COBRE – Microscopy and Mechanical Testing (MMT) Core
Time: 2:30 to 4:00 PM
Date: Thursday, February 18 2016
Location: Room 174 (157, 158) Harker ISE Lab

The NIH-COBRE Center “Molecular Design of Advanced Biomaterials” (https://sites.udel.edu/cobre-biomaterials/) focuses on the design of biomaterials for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. The COBRE-supported Microscopy and Mechanical Testing (MMT) Core integrates UD’s W. M. Keck Center for Advanced Microscopy and Microanalysis (CAMM, http://www.camm.udel.edu) with various smaller scale mechanical/morphological testing (MT) capabilities to advance the biomaterials research across campus. The CAMM and the MT facilities are conveniently located at the UD campus in the ISE lab and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, serving a large cadre of researchers encompassing more than 50 (total 250) registered users from 13 (total 120) research groups representing 4 (total 16) departments on campus

To better serve the UD research community, we will host an Open House at 2:30 PM on February 18, 2016. The Open House will start with a presentation by Drs. Chaoying Ni and Xinqiao Jia about MMT instrumentation/capabilities. Additional information on research applications, method development, user training programs and campus-wide instrument access will be discussed. The presentation will be followed by a guided tour showcasing the microscopy capabilities. A Q&A session will conclude the event.

Please join us and learn about the MMT capabilities and explore opportunities for collaboration.
