The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $800,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation. The grant falls under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) and will support research titled "Computationally Driven Design of Synthetic Tissue-Like Multifunctional Materials" from September 2021 through August 2025.
Specifically, the four-year grant will fund the development of computational models and methods to design synthetic biomaterials that mimic the structure and multiple functions of natural tissues. The research is expected to lead to new material systems with applications in biomedical technologies like tissue engineering and implantable devices. The work will be conducted at the University of Texas at Austin.
