- This $400,000 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), is funding a collaborative research project at the University of Michigan to study the mechanics of tissue boundary formation. The research aims to explain how mechanical forces inside the body help shape developing tissues during early stages of life, by investigating how cells move, interact, and respond to mechanical cues during tissue formation. The 3-year project will combine...
This federal Project Grant award of $3,000,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support the "TRAILBLAZER: BIOMATERIALS FOR PROGRAMMING TISSUE DEVELOPMENT" project at The Johns Hopkins University. The goal is to develop new methods for replicating the dynamic developmental cues found in the body to enable more functional and scalable tissue growth for applications like organ failure treatment. The project aims to address key obstacles in tissue engineering, such as the formation of blood vessels and the coordination of different cell types. In addition to the research, the project will involve hands-on training and mentorship opportunities for Baltimore City high school students, undergraduates, and master's students to increase participation in biotechnology research. The award period runs from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028.
