- The federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), aims to develop an automated, nursing-informed solution to improve early detection of pressure injuries (PIs) using thermal imaging (thermography). The $598,617 award to Emory University will collect and validate a robust dataset of thermal and optical images from over...
- This $395,695 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) aims to develop novel multi-modal ultrasound imaging methods for non-invasive, real-time monitoring of tissue healing and early prognosis. The project will investigate new prognostic markers related to vascular and interstitial fluid transport mechanisms to assess...
- This $705,182 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), will develop and validate a specialized suite of Inflammation Digital Pathology Tools (IDPT). The IDPT will comprise new pathomics and machine learning models tailored for use in preclinical models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and graft-versus-host disease...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), is focused on developing a next-generation photoacoustic computed tomography device for non-invasive monitoring of brain oxygen metabolism. The $249,000 award, spanning July 2025 to June 2028, aims to design, fabricate, and validate a handheld photoacoustic imaging device that...
- This federal Project Grant award of $649,678, provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports the development of a high-speed, wearable speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) system for cuffless blood pressure monitoring. The project aims to convert the existing benchtop SCOS technology into a wearable device capable of multi-hour ambulatory monitoring, and to test the technique in a wider range of subjects,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $153,000.00, awarded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), supports the development of a universal imaging technique based on point spread function (PSF) modulation to enable super-resolution capabilities in mobile microscopy platforms, including smartphones. The goal is to overcome resolution limitations of...
This $569,926 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), supports research and development of a handheld spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) system using spiral illumination for improved detection and monitoring of skin pathologies, with a focus on systemic sclerosis (SSc). The award will fund the development of this portable SFDI technology, which has shown promise in detecting subtle skin changes associated with SSc that can be missed by expert manual palpation. The project aims to further characterize the specific skin features identified by SFDI and transition this technology from a benchtop system to one suitable for clinical use. The award was made to Trustees of Boston University, a leading research institution with extensive expertise in biomedical engineering and medical imaging technologies.
