Biography
Michael J. Cima is author or co-author of over 250 peer-reviewed scientific publications and 60 patents, and is a recognized expert in the field of materials processing and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He is a faculty member at MIT and is actively involved in research of materials and engineered systems aimed at improving human health such as treatments for cancer, metabolic diseases, trauma and urological disorders. Dr. Cima's research includes advanced forming technologies for complex macro and micro devices, such as colloid science, MEMS and other micro components for medical devices that are used for drug delivery and diagnostics, as well as high-throughput development methods for formulations of materials and pharmaceutical formulations. He is a co-inventor of MIT's three-dimensional printing process. His research has led to the development of chemically derived epitaxial oxide films for HTSC-coated conductors. He and collaborators are developing implantable MEMS devices for unprecedented control in the delivery of pharmaceuticals and implantable diagnostic systems. Dr. Cima co-founded Microchips Biotech.
