The $234,021 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training program) will enable Kean University to procure a real-time cell analysis (RTCA) system. This advanced instrument will support several key objectives: (1) incorporating RTCA into two laboratory courses, (2) developing a novel assay to study bacterial and plant toxin activity, (3) investigating the use of gold nanoparticles to kill cancer cells, and (4) examining macrophages in glioblastoma cancer. The long-term goal is to make the RTCA system broadly accessible to researchers across Kean University's School of Integrative Science and Technology to support their projects and educational initiatives. This grant will provide Kean University with a cutting-edge biomedical research tool to advance its scientific and academic programs.
