Princeton University received a $600,000 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 project will develop three-dimensional biomechanical sensing technologies to map mechanical properties in living tissues during vertebrate development. Key deliverables include a bioinspired three-dimensional sensor-actuator network, lattice light-sheet microscopy with adaptive optics capabilities, and a computational analysis pipeline for multiscale mechanical mapping with cellular and subcellular resolution. These technologies will be applied to study zebrafish morphogenesis as a model system, generating new insights into how mechanical, genetic, and biochemical cues interact to guide developmental processes. The research will advance understanding of biomechanical regulation in biological processes such as development, tissue regeneration, and wound healing, with applications to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies. The project integrates bioelectronics, advanced microscopy, and computational approaches to address the significant gap in available tools for measuring and manipulating forces in living three-dimensional tissues. The award will support student participation in research activities, contributing to workforce development in science and engineering fields.Federal Grant Award Summary
