Dr. Menegatti has been awarded a research grant by the National Science Foundation to work on a stem cell distillery that can gently separate desired from undesired cells based on therapeutic potential.  Beyond the potential benefits to American healthcare that this research could reap, this grant will help grow our lab by allowing him to expand the breadth of his projects and, in the process, support more students, postdocs, and undergraduate researchers.

These grants are highly competitive, awarded only to a small percentage of applicants, and are provided with the goal of having a broad impact on both the researcher and on the progress of human technology.  Our lab’s focus on the cutting edge of drug delivery, chemistry, and bioseparations promise to bring new innovations to the table and advance scientific and engineering practices for the coming century.
