Program Area: Manufacturing and Biomanufacturing Tools
This program supports the development and demonstration of broadly applicable manufacturing and biomanufacturing tools to enable the translation of new paradigms of human health.
Emphasis:
The emphasis is on the development of manufacturing and biomanufacturing tools and associated computational models to enable biomedical interventions.
Projects might focus on:
- elucidating important engineering design rules or key foundational principles underlying future engineering, including the use of computational methods
- prototyping or redesigning platform technologies and approaches
- characterizing (in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo) broadly applicable technologies, prototypes, and manufactured products
NIBIB interests include but are not limited to:
- bioinks and bioprinters for 3D tissue construction
- continuous production methods for scalable manufacturing of drug delivery vehicles
- inline sensors for non-destructive evaluation of manufactured therapeutic cells
- bioreactors for organoid manufacturing
