This is a MONSTER file (over 30 megabytes). Usually it is more like 6-10 Mb, but I haven't sent it out in a month. Within the link, biomedical engineering, nanotech, 3D printing, and space news are in sections 23, 24, 25, and 30, respectively.


For those who are interested, I send this out to people who pay me a little for it. It might be good news for discussion in the Gulch.

TO: AIChE Members and Past Presenters, Past Students of Dr. Jim Brenner
TO: Florida Tech Chemical & Biomedical Engineering Students, Alumni, Advisory Board Members, & Faculty
FROM: Dr. Jim Brenner

If any link within goes to a Florida Tech TRACKS e-mail prompt, then right click on the link, and go to Edit Hyperlink. You will see about two-thirds of the links through a 2nd http: address within the hyperlink. Delete everything before the 2nd http, and then use CTRL + click to see the link. I just don’t have time to edit all of those links. Hopefully this will make my news blast a little more useful.

Samantha Ciepiela is an FIT chemical engineering grad from 2010 or 2011 and is interested in hiring ChE’s and BME’s for her new company, Stryker, one of the leading companies in biomedical implants. Her info is at the bottom of Section 2.

    The more difficult project would also be for you: cultured Islet cells (pancreas) to deal with diabetes issues. I am trying to gather funding in that direction.

    The new professor I am mentoring is working on corneas. I should have remembered to include that. Yes, corneas are relatively low lying fruit.

    It seems like replacement lenses would be a early winner. Old people don't always want to wear glasses. I for one while not old would gladly go through the annoying recovery processes if on the other side I didn't need the reading glasses and was still able to line the sights up on the target.

    Skin grafts will be one of the early applications, but I know people who are working on bone, hearts, arteries, nerves, kidneys, livers, as well as adult stem cells of just about every type of cell imaginable. I'm 47 now. By the time I am a senior citizen, regenerative medicine will be standard operating procedure. Much of that work is in Section 23 of http://my.fit.edu/~jbrenner/aiche051514...., but my students and I have done literature searches that you could access on most areas of tissue engineering. If interested in a particular topic, I'll show you how to access my RefWorks site to peruse lists of article titles and abstracts. If interested, e-mail me at jbrenner@fit.edu.

    Now you know why the angiochannelizer in Pendulum of Justice is so intriguing to me.

    Imagine being able to 3D print a DNA molecule. The convergence between genetics and computer science will be amazing. IF they don'f F up the whole world.

    It would have been so fun to have clients working on that.

    Maybe some day, db. I'll put that on my very long term to-do list. Printing with someone's DNA dissolved in a starting mixture is not that far off, however. I am developing a printer that prints a scaffolding that is about as fine as your shirt with one print head, followed by a second print head doing something more like inkjet printing of one's own cells embedded in a hydrogel that would intersperse amongst the scaffolding. It has been done recently by Organonovo and Envirotec, but I am going to make it FAR cheaper.
