Mark A. Eddings was born and raised in Bountiful, Utah. He attended BountifulHigh School where he graduated in 1997. After serving a two-year LDS mission to the Fiji Islands, he returned home and began studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah. He graduated in May of 2004 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and is now currently pursuing a PhD in Bioengineering. 

Research Work: 

1. Development of a painless drug delivery system using microneedles. The project utilized photolithography, wet etching, electroplating, and other MEMS processes.

2. Development of micropumps for on-chip fluidic control for biosensors and protein spotting applications. Work was focused on PDMS-based peristaltic and permeation/diffusion pumps.

3. Development of highly arrayed continuous flow immunoassays in a microfluidic device.

4. Development of an ELISA assay for detection of antibodies to drug treatments given to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients.
