About MiTeGen
Welcome to MiTeGen. We appreciate your interest in our company and welcome comments regarding this site or any other aspect of our company.
MiTeGen has been founded to develop and manufacture products for the small molecule and macromolecular crystallography communities. Our strength and focus is on applying concepts and technologies from physics and related fields to address the practical problems faced by our friends and collaborators in the structural biology community.
Our first product - MicroMounts™ - was developed by Prof. Robert Thorne's group in the Physics Department at Cornell University. Graduate students Kevin O'Neill and Zach Stum (who provided microfabrication expertise obtained in their NSF supported work on one-dimensional inorganic conductors), Eugene Kalinin (supported by NASA) and Guanhan Chew, undergraduate students Adam Saltzman, Adam Bartnik and Mariya Bessonov (an NSF REU student); postdocs Jan Kmetko (supported by the NIH) and Andrew Stewart; and MacCHESS staff scientists including Richard Gillilan have all contributed to the products we offer. We acknowledge financial support from NASA, the NIH and the NSF, and input from our collaborators (especially Tom Ellenberger and Steve Ealick) and the dozens of groups around the world who have tested prototypes.
We welcome comments on problems you'd like solved and your suggestions for new products. With the tremendous research resources available at Cornell, we can develop and test products based on wide range of technologies.
