Award Summary The University of Pennsylvania received a $637,912 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). Effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, this project will develop novel bioelectronic devices designed for long-term tissue integration and continuous monitoring of peripheral nerve injuries (PNI). The research team will engineer specialized interfaces to overcome current limitations in bioelectronic device stability and biomarker detection sensitivity, with the ultimate objective of enabling personalized treatments for PNI and generating validated technologies for chronic monitoring applications. In addition to research deliverables, the award includes workforce development and educational components. The research team will partner with the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia to establish "Engineering in Medicine," a high school engagement initiative focused on biosensor fabrication, and will develop a new bioelectronics curriculum. These complementary educational activities aim to build workforce capacity in materials science and healthcare engineering while advancing the fundamental understanding of nerve injury progression through continuous longitudinal monitoring capabilities.
