The 2014 MUSC Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in Tissue Engineering and Biofabrication is a 10-week summer research program that will provide laboratory training and exposure to tissue engineering and biofabrication fields with a focus on generating blood vessels through a 3D ‘bioprinting’ mechanism. Prior lab experience would be helpful but is not required.
