Michael's esearch is focused on 3D printing functional materials & devices for biomedical applications, with recent advances in 3D printed spinal cord implants, 3D printed bionic eyes (one of National Geographic’s 12 Innovations that will Revolutionize the Future of Medicine), and most recently, 3D bioprinted cancer models. Awards for this work include the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).
