NIH Awards Grant for Center for Engineering Complex Tissues

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded grants to several research efforts centered around 3D printing technology, including 3D printed scaffolds for studying bone cancer tumors by Rice University researchers. Recently, a team of bioengineers from Rice University, Wake Forest University, and the University of Maryland received a $6.25 million grant from the NIH, which will be used to establish the Center for Engineering Complex Tissues (CECT). The new CECT will take tissue engineering from the laboratory to the clinic beginning April 15, and develop new technologies, while also acting as a "collaborative hub" for the biomaterials experts, engineers, and surgeons working on regenerative medicine.
