Preserving Frozen Specimen
Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Associate Professor Jeff Ruberti was awarded a patent for his method of extracting samples from frozen specimens without having to thaw the entire specimen.
Dr. Ruberti received both his BS and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Tulane University in 1986 and 1998, respectively. He is also the director of EMERL, the Extracellular Matrix Engineering Research Laboratory, which focuses on the study of kinetics of collagen assembly and degradation at various scales.
