The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) was awarded a $1,453,500 Project Grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The funding will support the development of a novel, physiologically-focused approach to train multi-modal artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for medical applications. Specifically, the project aims to create a new deep neural network architecture that can accept and learn from multiple...
This Project Grant award of $1,249,099 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) supports the development of a new class of small, bright, tunable, and biocompatible near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescent probes for deep tissue molecular imaging. The University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) will create a palette of DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (AgN-DNA) that emit in the NIR-II tissue transparency window (1,000-1,700 nm). These new...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) provides $245,087 to the University of Delaware to develop an advanced AI-powered system for interpreting prostate MRI scans.
