Biomedical Prototyping and Characterization Facility

The Biomedical Prototyping and Characterization Facility is a user facility for biomedical device development. This facility, established in 2021, builds on Oregon State University’s strengths in biomedical engineering, including micro- and nano-fabrication, biosensors, and medical diagnostics. It is intended to promote interdisciplinary collaboration by providing unique experimental capabilities and co-locating device fabrication and characterization tools in one shared, integrated facility. 

Housed in Johnson Hall, a state-of-the-art building that includes wet labs designed for working with cells and biomolecules, the new facility adds laboratory spaces dedicated to device prototyping/validation, cell and biomolecule characterization, and surface analysis. Combined with existing research infrastructure — including the Materials Synthesis and Characterization Facility and the Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Institute — the Biomedical Prototyping and Characterization Facility creates a strong foundation for the continued growth of biomedical technology research and development at Oregon State and with regional partner universities.

Support for the facility comes from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust.
