An amazing demonstration of mass manufacturing via high area rapid printing (HARP). With a single printer, Azul 3D produces 10,000 face shields for first responders, community doctors, prisoners, and the Navajo nation. Watch the video!
Azul is doing great things with DuPont. Now have the largest and highest throughput SLA printers in the field. More exciting advances to come in 2024.
@azul3dprinting
You deserve it! A well-earned dividend for your hard work, persistence, creativity, responsibility-taking, and ability to rally a team. NU is very proud of you, but I am certain the best is yet to come!
Two new spherical nucleic acid (SNA) drugs in development for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases - very promising for a large group of patients in need.
You were fantastic! It is difficult to understand many of the recent moves made in the ACS journals and the magazine - they do not seem to be in the interest of quality. Good luck in 2023 - you will undoubtedly land a great one!

Come to our booth starting Feb 22 at 9AM to learn about our tools and latest advancements in bioengineering and materials.
Multiple trials are planned. The first was to evaluate safety, biodistribution, crossing of the BBB and hitting of target. The next will refine target and then extend to efficacy. Pace is limited by funds to pay for the trials, as few companies want to take on GBM drugs.
@CHADNANO
are there plans to construct a clinical trial with your novel vaccine approach for glioma? If yes, what do you need to propel this faster? Funding, something else? Is current thought process that this would have efficacy on both low and high grade glioma?
