Rutgers, The State University received a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. This award supports the development of high-fidelity computational simulations and in silico models designed to predict altered blood flow patterns in cancerous tissue by coupling red blood cell (RBC) dynamics with vascular structural abnormalities. The primary deliverables include computer simulation tools built from high-resolution, three-dimensional in vivo images of tumor vascular networks that will elucidate mechanisms of blood flow anomalies in both the angiogenic periphery and tumor core of cancerous tissues. The research aims to identify specific mechanistic targets that could improve cancer treatment modalities by addressing how structural vascular abnormalities in tumors create bottlenecks for therapeutic delivery. Beyond the technical research outputs, the project incorporates broader impacts through translational applications, K-12 outreach activities, and mentored undergraduate and graduate student research, consistent with NSF Engineering program requirements for workforce development and educational integration. The computational models and simulation tools developed through this award will advance fundamental knowledge of tumor biology while providing potential pathways to enhance treatment efficacy.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
