I will review your summary at the next meeting and you should be prepared to discuss your progress on these issues.

Task List

Meeting Date: Jan 6, 2009

Summary:

the summary mostly is about the problems that we are going to face

· Homogeneity of the Polymer

· Homogeneity of the Cells inside the Hydrogel

· Optimize the UV (long wave UV) for cell viability

· Effect of Oxygen(inhibition of the polymerization)

· Evaporation of the Polymer monomer

· Find best pin speed and Size of Nozzle

· Sterilization

· Removing monomer and solvent if it is organic

· Viscosity if it is applicable

· Comes up with Library(Cross linker, Functional group, Acr PEG)

Action Plan:

Try to begin the experiment with the common Acrylated PEG. printing and see the range of concentration that microaarayer can handle.

then seeding the ESc and check first the viability and distribution of them inside the hydrogel.

then goes toward to check the combination of the RGD and PEG abd see if it does work(printing , polymerization,...) and check the differentiation.

final step would be come up with most promising Library of Biomaterials.
