New UD tissue-engineering research focuses on vocal cords
UD scientists Xinqiao Jia and Randall Duncan are shown with the novel bioreactor that Jia designed. The device can simulate the demanding, high-frequency environment in which vocal cord cells live, vibrating back and forth at up to 100 hertz (100 times a second).

Engineering pliable, new vocal cord tissue to replace scarred, rigid tissue in these petite, yet powerful organs is the goal of a new University of Delaware research project. It is funded by a five-year, $1.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.

9:37 a.m., Aug. 3, 2007--Researchers from the University of Delaware and Washington University in St. Louis have figured out how to train synthetic polymer molecules to behave--to literally “self-assemble” --and form into long, multicompartment cylinders 1,000 times thinner than a human hair, with potential uses in radiology, signal communication and the delivery of therapeutic drugs in the human body.

MSEG Faculty, Students and Staff
 MSEG Facilities have Expanded
The expansion of DuPont Hall is completed, aligning the Front of DuPont Hall with that of Wolf Hall and Brown Lab. The new facade complements—in both scale and architectural merit—that of Gore Hall across the mall.
The building houses the departments of Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering, as well as the Dean's Office.
