Niagara College has received funding that will advance its COVID-19 related research and Kris Dube with the Niagara Dailies reported the news. The grant, which is part of a special fund of $28 million in research infrastructure support, will allow for the purchase of a biomedically compatible 3D printer for NC’s Research & Innovation division.
