This is a $11,599,255.00 federal contract awarded by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) to support the development of lung-on-chip technologies to examine chlorine-induced respiratory complications and predict the toxicity of inhaled chlorine gas in human lungs.
The contract has no set-aside designation and is a definitive contract with a cost-no-fee pricing type. Penn will conduct this research in collaboration with two subcontractors - The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The research will progress in discrete phases to establish and validate inflammatory response models, assess the toxicity of chlorine gas, and investigate the pathophysiology of chlorine-induced lung injury. This contract supports ASPR's mission to advance the development of medical countermeasures against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.
