The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded a $391,588 Project Grant under the "Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health" (CFDA 93.286) program to The Methodist Hospital Research Institute (HMRI) in Houston, TX. The grant supports the development of an artificial intelligence-integrated physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to enable rational design of nanoparticles for improved organ targeting and safety. The project aims to (1) develop the PBPK-toxicology model, (2) establish quantitative relationships between nanoparticle properties, exposure, and toxicity, and (3) experimentally validate the model predictions. This research framework is expected to accelerate the preclinical development and clinical translation of novel nanomaterials by providing rational design guidelines through computational investigation of biological and physicochemical factors impacting nanoparticle biodistribution and safety.

As part of this grant, HMRI has awarded a sub-grant to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to contribute expertise in this collaborative research effort.
