Congratulations to Carmela Di Marco who, together with researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, contributed to develop a new method for producing malleable microstructures. These stents are 40 times smaller than any produced to date.

Our MCAA member is the lead author of the study and work as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow within Bradley Nelson’s research group.
