The National Science Foundation's Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded $550,000 to the University of Michigan under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop an injectable transponder system for precise radiotherapy tumor targeting and dosimetry. This five-year Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2031, funds research to create a minimally invasive, implantable medical device that addresses critical challenges in cancer radiation treatment. The primary deliverable is a photonuclear-powered, wirelessly localizable transponder that harvests energy directly from X-ray or electron beams during radiotherapy, eliminating the need for batteries while providing real-time feedback on tumor location and radiation dose delivery. The research combines novel hardware and signal-processing algorithms to overcome key technical challenges in power generation, localization accuracy, and device miniaturization. By enabling dynamic adjustments to treatment protocols, the transponder system is designed to improve treatment outcomes, reduce radiation damage to healthy tissues, and enhance patient safety for cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. The project also incorporates workforce development components through student engagement in hands-on research and fostering of industry collaborations to advance the commercialization potential of this biomedical innovation.Federal Grant Award Summary
