The MRSEC Facilities Network is a nationwide partnership of NSF supported MRSEC centers designed to provide support to researchers in the broad area of Materials Research in academic, government and industrial laboratories around the world.
Brandeis University
Advances in materials science and biology have become increasingly intertwined, with progress in one field influencing the other. The Brandeis NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) was established in September 2008 to development this relationship between biology and materials science using two complementary approaches.
In a “bottom-up” approach, we build on our expertise in the understanding of relatively simple material and chemical systems (liquid crystals, colloids, polymers, oscillating chemical reactions). We are exploring how the addition of constraints typically found in biology – confinement, crowding and local forces that compete with and....
