North Carolina A&T State University will conduct research on biodegradable composite nanofiber meshes containing degradable metal particulates under a $550,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities. The three-year grant was awarded on June 15, 2021 with a completion date of May 31, 2024.
The research is funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which supports progress in these scientific fields to strengthen the nation's research enterprise. Specifically, the university will develop new biomaterials for biomedical applications by exploring composite nanofiber meshes that incorporate degradable metal particulates. The meshes are intended to degrade safely once implanted in the body. The research has the potential to advance technologies for drug delivery, tissue engineering and other medical uses. All work will take place in Greensboro, North Carolina.
