The Biomedical Prototyping and Characterization Facility is a user facility for biomedical device development. This facility, established in 2021, builds on ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ State University’s strengths in biomedical engineering, including micro- and nano-fabrication, biosensors, and medical diagnostics. It is intended to promote interdisciplinary collaboration by providing unique experimental capabilities and co-locating device fabrication and characterization tools in one shared, integrated facility.
Housed in Johnson Hall, a state-of-the-art building that includes wet labs designed for working with cells and biomolecules, the new facility adds laboratory spaces dedicated to device prototyping/validation, cell and biomolecule characterization, and surface analysis. Combined with existing research infrastructure — including the and the — the Biomedical Prototyping and Characterization Facility creates a strong foundation for the continued growth of biomedical technology research and development at ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ State and with regional partner universities.
