Project Overview

Current procedures for collecting patient cells include puncturing skin and drawing blood. The goal of this project is to design an epithelial cell collection device which will separate the cells from urine. The cells must be kept viable for 24 hours after filtration in order to be used to create embryonic-like stem cells.
