million grant by the to help trainm graduate studentsin cell-research techniques and to share their scientifif knowledge with local school teachers, CSU said The graduate students at the Fort Collins campuas “will test new theories about how cells behaves using advanced engineering methodd in microelectronics and electrochemistry,” CSU said in a statement. That NSF-funderd work will be led by CSU engineering professor Tom the grant’s principal investigator, joined by Stuart Tobet, a biomedicak sciences professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedicakl Sciences, and Michael De Miranda, an engineering educatiom professor in the College of Applied Humanb Sciences.
