A drug delivery device implanted in patients proved first successful results of released drug delivery that could usher in new era of telemedicine. Along with scientists from MICROCHIPS, two David Koch professors report their findings in February 16th issue of Science Translational Medicine. more...
Bill Weir of ABC's Nightline visited the Cima lab to learn all about their implantable sensor, which could allow doctors to continuously and non-invasively monitor tumor environments. The segment appeared on the ABC News program, "This Could Be Big." more...
A tiny, implantable sensor developed by the Cima lab could enable continuous monitoring of cancer. watch...
The Boston Globe reports that a drug-filled patch created by KI researchers may one day replace some of the need for conventional needles to administer injected drugs. The patch that attaches to the skin would provide small doses of medication over time in place of frequent hospital visits or bolus injections. It could be used on chronic diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and hepatitis C. Clinical trials could begin late next year. more...
Learn more about the work that Professor Cima’s lab is doing to create tiny nanosensors that are chemically sensitive to different molecules – and how they hope these sensors can be used to help determine proper dosage for chemotherapy. watch...
Michael Cima and Linda Griffith are among the 68 new members and nine foreign associates elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) on Feb. 8. Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature." more...
Great inventors share a common set of traits, the most important of them: curiosity, empathy and leadership. more...
Biopsies offer a snapshot of a tumor at a single moment in time. Monitoring a tumor for weeks or months after the biopsy, tracking its growth and how it responds to treatment, would be much more valuable, says KI scientist Michael Cima, who has developed the first implantable device that can do just that. more...
Sangeeta Bhatia and Michael Cima shared their latest research at an international meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland. more...
