Our Crowdfunding Groups
We reached our goal of $4500 and we want to give a big thank you to all our donors! Thank you for your generous support of our research! Check out our website for updates on the progress of our device and info on our senior thesis presentation in Spring 2019! https://teammicro.weebly.com/
Your contribution will allow us to purchase glass slides, an essential substrate on which we 3D print tiny microchannels for evaluation and testing.
Your contribution will allow us to purchase a silicon wafer on which we can use photolithography techniques to imprint our liver microchannels.
Your contribution will provide us with timed access to the photolithography machines in the Fabrication Lab, including the Branson Barrel Resist Stripper that is used to bond our chip to the glass slides.
Your contribution will provide us with timed access to a scanning electron microscope, a powerful tool that will allow us to photograph our 3D printed structures in high definition.
Your contribution will provide us with timed access to the Nanoscribe 3D printer in the Terrapin Works facility, an essential instrument that we will use to 3D print tiny microchannels in our model.
Your contribution will help cover the required registration and travel fees for one of our members to attend a professional conference and present our work.
Your contribution will allow us to purchase a cell assay kit that we will use to evaluate the behavior and metabolic activity of the liver cells in our model.
Your contribution will allow us to purchase an immortal line of liver cells that we will use to evaluate the efficacy of our organ-on-a-chip model.
