Gracias1, (1)Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, 125 Maryland Hall, 3400 N Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218, (2)Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218 We describe a new class of biomedical microdevices based on self-assembling 3D polyhedra. The polyhedra are fabricated from lithographically structured 2D templates and fold on a thermal trigger. We have utilized the polyhedra as containers for on-demand remote controlled delivery to live cells and in tissue. We will also describe experiments in cell encapsulation and imaging.
