The CRIM (Center of Research In Microengineering) is the new name of MiTech Lab (Microfabrication Technology Laboratory), which was established at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in 1991. At present the CRIM has about 25 full time researchers possessing interdisciplinary expertise. The mission of CRIM is to investigate, design and develop microcomponents, microsystems and micromachines for medical and biochemical applications using innovative microfabrication technologies.

The Microscale Life Sciences Center is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Center of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS). It resides at the University of Washington (UW) and includes investigators from UW and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) in Seattle. The MLSC is one of the first of three CEGS ever funded by the NIH NHGRI in the nation.
The MLSC or "life-on-a-chip" involves 10 investigators from the UW Departments of Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Microbiology, Laboratory Medicine, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The Center started in August 2001, is funded for 5 years at $15 million, and may be renewed for another 5 years.

Our research focus on the topics of computer vision and robotics. The Computer Vision and Active Perception Laboratory (CVAP) is part of the School of Computer Science and Communications (CSC ) at KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.
