Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E)

Researchers at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) have developed a device that allows them to control the distance between cells. The cells are placed on combs, which can be fully separated (top), slightly separated (middle) or locked together with combs in contact (bottom).

HST device draws cells close--but not too close--together
