David Needham
Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science

Professor Needham also holds appointments as Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering; Associate Professor, Center for Bioinspired materials and material Systems, and the Center for Biomolecular and Tissue Engineering; and Associate Professor, Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Needham's Lab uses a platform technology of micropipette manipulation to manipulate single and pairs of micro particles in order to assess their behavior in well defined fluids and excipient concentrations. He brings a wealth of expertise in micromanipulation, colloid stability, and drug delivery formulation.
