Last week, The Nonwovens Institute (NWI) announced that it will be funding research in our lab focused on developing antimicrobial textiles.  These next generation nonwovens will be developed in our lab using the latest technologies and materials.  We look forward to working more closely with NWI and generating great data and products.

In addition, we are proud to announce that the Kenan Institute for Engineering, Technology, and Science (KIETS) is funding research on engineering large blood vessel networks.  With our history of working with blood proteins and human based materials, our lab is excited to move to this exciting new realm of research.

Thanks to all who made this possible, and stay tuned to hear more about the exciting developments these projects turn up!
