Our 
goals are to develop:
- nanomaterials including multi-functionalized surfaces and channels that are biocompatible;
- nanostructured vascular grafts;
- nanocapsules, and multifunctional polyplex and liposome nanoparticles to evaluate cytotoxicity and drug/gene transfection efficiency within cells;
- CO2-assisted bonding for use in microfabrication when biological material is present; and
- to study DNA conjugation within nanoscale devices.
Item (a) supports the Biosensors/-chips Testbed, (b) the Cell-based Devices Testbed, (c) the Drug/Gene Delivery Testbed, and (d) the Super/Subcritical Fluids Core Technology Platform.
