This $100,000 National Science Foundation Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships grant funds the development of tunable porosity aerogel for wound care dressings at The University of Akron from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The project aims to create a novel bio-based aerogel dressing that could help heal patients with chronic wounds faster by requiring fewer dressing changes. Aerogels' high porosity, surface area and moisture balance properties may create an incubator-like wound healing...
This Project Grant award of $469,766 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), aims to develop a novel wound healing technology based on nanogenerator-driven electrical stimulation (NG-ES). The key objectives are to obtain a cellular-level understanding of how NG-ES accelerates wound healing, identify optimal signal and device designs, and validate the enhanced...
This $100,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a novel multi-wavelength spectroscopy technique and portable analyzer to assess tissue health at Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station in College Station, Texas. The goal is to prevent pressure injuries through early detection by evaluating tissue oxygenation and blood perfusion beneath the skin's surface, which could help hospitals decrease injury rates and costs. The proposed technology may identify...
