3D printing for studying and treating infections

This project is closed.

We are developing novel ways of treating resistant infections, particularly those that form biofilms. In this project we need to develop designs for devices to be used in the treatment of these infections. We will use these designs to generate 3D printed prototypes which will then be tested.

Qualifications

This project is suited for junior or senior engineering students and other with experience in 3D design and 3D printing. The preferred qualifications that are needed for specific aspects of this project are:
-strong 3D modeling skills (Solidworks, CAD, sketchup)
-interest in microbiology and human health (not required)

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
