MicroElectronic Devices in Cardiovascular Applications (MEDICA)

A new interdisciplinary Center for MicroElectronic Devices in Cardiovascular Applications was formed in 1999 with the stated mission of fostering excellence and scientific advancement in the study and utilization of micro-devices for early diagnosis and improvement in cardiovascular treatment. The center draws upon the engineering and clinical expertise of the faculty from CU-Boulder's College of Engineering and Applied Science and the CU Health Sciences Center. More

BioServe Space Technologies

This year marks the beginning of an entirely new era of space experimentation for BioServe Space Technologies. Now that the U.S. Destiny Laboratory Module has been successfully installed to the International Space Station, BioServe will launch its first long-duration commercial research project this spring. This research is a collaboration between BioServe and pharmaceutical giant Bristol-Myers Squibb and examines mechanisms of enhanced microbially pharmaceutical production in microgravity. More

Center for Fundamentals and Applications of Photopolymerizations (CFAP)

Beginning in January 2000, the University of Colorado and the University of Iowa jointly established a National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Fundamentals and Applications of Photopolymerizations. This center is designed around a model that features strong collective industrial financial support, matching financial support from NSF, and industrial participation in the planning and oversight of the research projects.

Membrane Applied Science and Technology Center (MAST)

The Membrane Applied Science and Technology Center, a National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry/University Cooperative Research Center, has now expanded with the initiation of our new site at the University of Cincinnati (UC). We have recently applied to the NSF for recognition as multi-university research center for the 5-year period beginning July 1, 2001. The CU site is co-directed by Professors Richard Noble of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Alan Greenberg of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The multi-site center currently has 13 industry and government laboratory sponsors, each of which pays a $40,000 annual sponsor fee. The center also receives support from the NSF, CU, UC and the States of Colorado and Ohio. More

Center for Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

The Center for Pharmaceutical Biotechnology is a joint enterprise between the Department of Chemical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Pharmacy at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. More
