- 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), aims to improve the assessment of cutaneous wound healing by quantitatively measuring biomarkers of vascular perfusion and hypoxia. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the awardee, receiving $427,625 for this 2-year project from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027. The...
- 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 $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program will support the development of an advanced wound care technology at Florida International University. Specifically, the university will create a bandage-integrated platform that provides feedback-mediated wound therapy to enable personalized care. The conformable platform is designed to non-invasively monitor multiple wound biomarkers in spatial detail and then apply targeted...
- The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded a $821,426 Project Grant on January 16, 2025 under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) to the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The grant supports the development of nanostructures that are selectively targeted to bacteria, with a focus on two pathogens of particular concern: Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii. The...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), through its Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), awarded a $349,892 project grant to Fesariustherapeutics Inc. to develop Dermisphere Shield, an antimicrobial dermal regeneration template for application in challenging wound environments. The project aims to create a dermal regeneration scaffold that promotes rapid cellular infiltration, angiogenesis, and accelerated wound healing, potentially offering...
- 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), awarded a $1,195,366 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut. The grant supports the development and testing of an "Injectable Cell-Free Piezoelectric Scaffold to Treat Osteoarthritis in Large Animal Models." The innovative scaffold is designed to electrically stimulate cartilage regrowth in...
- This $250,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a microneedle-mediated adaptive phototherapy wound dressing by the University of South Florida from October 1, 2022 to November 30, 2024. The dressing integrates self-diagnosis and treatment tailored to wound conditions without external electronics or medical professionals. Microstructured microneedles act as optical waveguides to deliver localized blue or red light therapy at wound sites, changing wavelength...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $268,377 to The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth (UNTHSC) to develop and evaluate a novel device for accelerating the healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) using high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration (HFLAV). The key objectives are to: 1) enhance...
- This $350,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Virginia from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025 under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The research aims to advance understanding of the effects of microgravity on wound healing processes by leveraging a sensor-integrated 3D tissue culture model. Specifically, the project will explore dynamic changes in gene and protein expression, endothelial network formation, and extracellular matrix...
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded a $435,372 Project Grant under the "Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health" (CFDA 93.286) program to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, through its University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) division. The grant aims to develop a novel and efficacious electrotaxis system to enhance chronic wound healing. Chronic wounds affect 1-2% of the U.S. population and have a significant impact on patient health and quality of life. The research project will leverage direct current electric fields to guide the directional migration and increase the speed of key skin cells, such as keratinocytes, dermal fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells, in order to accelerate wound closure and skin tissue regeneration. The award has a performance period from August 13, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
