Emory University received a $500,001 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031. The award funds development of high-precision phototoxic subtractive engineering technologies for tissue reshaping and regenerative medicine applications. The primary deliverables include a novel light-based platform utilizing spatially patterned illumination to selectively induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in engineered tissues at high resolution, enabling creation of perfusable vascular channels and tissue structures. The research will validate this approach using laboratory models of cardiac and hepatic tissues derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and integrate the subtractive engineering platform with advanced bioprinting and digital micromirror-based light patterning technologies. Secondary deliverables include mechanistic research outputs such as pooled CRISPR screening data and single-cell transcriptomics mapping of cellular signaling networks involved in the light-dependent survival/apoptosis switch, as well as an integrated biomanufacturing platform demonstrating subtractive tissue engineering combined with bioprinting. Additionally, the award supports educational outreach products including biohybrid fish robot kits and tissue-engineering modules for Georgia K-12 students, with structured mentorship from graduate and undergraduate researchers. These educational products support workforce development initiatives connecting Georgia Tech, Emory University, and local public schools to increase biomedical engineering talent pipeline development.Federal Grant Award Summary
