The Medical Devices of The Future

This project is closed.

Our lab develops drug delivery systems and devices. These are things like inhalers, innovative eye droppers, or smart patches. We are interested in combining our expertise in drug delivery with the rapid advances that have been made in "technology" including tech devices like smart phones, consumer personal portable devices, and also with the software and "apps" that are currently thriving. Our objective is to dramatically improve current therapies and drug development via the synergy between technology and drug delivery systems.

Qualifications

The main qualification is enthusiasm. No direct lab experience is necessary but would be helpful. In addition knowledge or experience with electronics or software development would be a plus. If you're handy with devices and computers, this project is for you.

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.

Have you tried contacting professors and need more help? Schedule an appointment for additional support.
