The University of Washington received a $548,298 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (Engineering program, CFDA 47.041) effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031. This project grant funds research and technology development aimed at advancing long-term organ cryopreservation through electromagnetic wave-facilitated vitrification and rewarming techniques. The primary deliverable is a novel vitrification strategy that utilizes electromagnetic waves to suppress ice formation and prevent thermomechanical stress fractures during the cooling and rewarming of human organs, addressing critical challenges in organ preservation that currently limit transplant availability and contribute to preventable deaths from end-stage organ failure. Beyond core research outcomes, the award includes integrated educational and outreach components designed to develop workforce capacity in biomedical engineering and STEM fields more broadly. The research team will provide students with direct participation opportunities in the research activities, and will conduct structured outreach to K-12 schools, community colleges, and local communities in partnership with the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. These educational efforts are intended to promote public understanding of biomedical engineering challenges while building interest and engagement in STEM careers among younger populations.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
