The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $432,385 project grant from the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research to support research into developing a novel integrated atomic force and confocal fluorescence microscope system for real-time, molecular diagnosis of brain injuries. The grant was awarded on January 1, 2023 under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300), which aims to stimulate basic and applied research at educational institutions with potential to improve naval operations. The university will utilize the one-year grant period ending December 31, 2023 to advance capabilities for rapid identification of brain injury biomarkers at the molecular level using an integrated microscope platform, with the goal of improving diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injuries.
