UT Arlington engineer wins NSF award to support microfluidic analyses of tissue, cell samples
Device, process could lead to lead to quicker drug developmentA UT Arlington mechanical engineer has been honored by the National Science Foundation with a $400,000 Early Career Development grant to support her work with microfluidic devices, which promise to improve 3D tissue and cell sample analyses. Hyejin Moon, who joined The University of Texas College of Engineering in 2007, has developed a novel approach to testing microscopic amounts of tissue and cells on microchips. Her devices produce more accurate images and conditions of huge numbers of
