Professors David Shreiber and Jeffrey Zahn (BME) have teamed with Professors Hao Lin and Jerry Shan (MAE) for a 3-year $407,000 grant from the NSF, entitled “A Theory-Based Electroporation Method for Optimized Molecular Delivery.” The goal of the project is to understand the fundamental aspects of electrohydrodynamics that govern molecular transport during electroporation, and then to use that knowledge to design protocols and on-chip microdevices that optimize delivery while minimizing cell damage and death.
