Maker Faire Pensacola 2023
UWF Microneedle
Home: Florida, United States
Microneedles Arrays (MN Arrays) are composed of hydrogels and consist of an array of very small needles used to deliver drugs to patients in a non-invasive manner. Our MN Arrays are designed using Solidworks, and then 3-D printed so that we can make our molds. MN Arrays have many benefits from controlled drug delivery to reducing the risk of injury and pain caused from traditional needles. Come check out our booth to see some of our designs, and learn about our research!
Makers
Jayden Spiess
My name is Jayden Spiess. I am a senior mechanical engineering student with a minor in chemistry at the University of West Florida. I originally began my engineering career with a focus on automotive and manufacturing, from participating on UWF's SAE BAJA team, and working for Toyota as an engineering co-op. I have shifted my focus to biomedical application to expose myself to a different engineering discipline. I am particularly interested in chemistry, and hope to learn more about the chemical properties of hydrogels, as well as learn more about microneedles and other biomedical devices.
Amanda Serger
My name is Amanda Serger, and I am a sophomore mechanical engineering student at the University of West Florida. Some of my interests include biomedical applications in engineering, and I hope to someday work in this field. Thus, the microneedle team offers applicable research for my interests.
