FAMES Lab TrophoWell, an affordable testing platform that examines how cells react to chemicals, has been granted patent number 11629325. The device is useful in drug discovery and personalized medicine research.

The FAMES Lab is now part of a new collaboration with Purdue, Notre Dame and industrial partners on reducing energy and carbon footprint, increasing factory efficiency and enhancing sustainability on the Energy Insights Research Platform (EIRP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Results of the FAMES Lab's antibacterial fiber device, with uses such as deep wound surgical electrceutical suture, will be presented at the Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS) 2022 conference.

Members of the FAMES Lab present at the Smart NanoMaterials: Advances, Innovation and Applications (SNAIA) conference in Paris, and Dr. Gumennik chairs the symposium on smart functional fibers and textiles.

Camila Faccini de Lima was invited to talk about her research at the Federal Institute for Education, Science and Technology, Brazil.

Mengxin Zheng will be presenting 3D printed glass preforms for optical fibers with non-equilibrium cross-sections from 11:30am to 1:00pm on May 13, 2020, in San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California, at CLEO 2020.

FAMES Lab members, Louis van der Elst and Merve Gokce Kurtoglu will be attending the 2020 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit (SM09.02: 3D Printed Medical Devices II). The oral presentation by Louis will take place at 1:30 PM, on April 14, 2020, in PCC North, 200 Level, Room 225B.

Over 3 days the FAMES Lab was trained by CalNano and SUGA Co. on their new spark plasma sintering system.

OptoGear's glass lathe is now installed at the FAMES Lab. OptoGear's engineering team came for two weeks from Finland to calibrate it along with our draw tower.

The tapering setup is an elaborate fiber drawing project and its delivery is yet another checkpoint crossed for the FAMES Lab.
