The advantage of 3D printing is quickly manufacturing patient specific, 3D micron-scale needle arrays loaded with the desired chemotherapeutic drugs with the appropriate dosage and duration of release. The 3D microneedle arrays will have therapeutic dosages to kill various melanomas by providing controlled and\/or bolus release of drugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multi-scale 3D Printing of Microneedle Arrays for Early-Stage Melanoma Therapy Dr. Jae-Won Choi Monday, April 11, 2016 ASEC Room 105, from 12-1 pm Dr. Jae-Won Choi\u00a0is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/2016\/04\/05\/research-for-lunch-with-dr-jae-won-choi\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2334,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[21155],"class_list":["post-38827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements","tag-research-for-lunch"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38827"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38831,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38827\/revisions\/38831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
