Rainbow Coral today announced that one of its partners, Nano3D BioSciences, announced the winners of a scientific discovery competition called The MAD Scientist Contest by n3D. The competition was designed to introduce n3D’s groundbreaking 3D cell culturing technology to a budding generation of “MAD” scientists.
The top cash prize was awarded to Hamsa Jaganathan, Ph.D., of the Methodist Hospital Research Institute for her amazing model of a breast tumor microenvironment, created by co-culturing breast cancer cells and fibroblasts. Second prize went to Matthew Hogan at the University of Houston for his creation of a functional, or beating, primary cardiac cultures in vitro.
“The winning entries illustrate how 3-D, suspended cultures constructed using n3D technology improve data and achieve results impossible with other cell-culturing systems,” stated RBCC CEO Patrick Brown. “The MAD Scientist Contest also served to introduce n3D’s Bio-Assembler system to the young scientists who will undoubtedly lead cellular research into the future.”
This contest is a critical piece of n3D and RBCC’s strategy to build strong interest in the scientific and research communities. According to today’s press release, the system’s next-generation functionality enables production of accurate, 3D representations of in vivo tissues faster and easier than any other existing technology.
