Abstract: One embodiment of the invention describes a novel method for providing a substrate for selective cell patterning, wherein the method comprises contacting an epoxide coated substrate surface with a bi-functional molecule having an epoxide end group and reacting these end groups with the substrate surface through a photochemically induced acid coupling reaction. The bi-functional molecule is applied in solution to the substrate surface as a photo-sensitive coating. A photomask stencil is used to deposit electromagnetic radiation into the coating in predetermined locations to form a desired pattern of the coating. The patterned substrate is provided by washing coating from the substrate leaving the bi-functional molecule attached to the substrate in those areas exposed to the radiation providing thereby cell adhesive moieties in controlled locations on the substrate.
