A research team led by Professor David Shreiber has been awarded a two-year grant for $203,000 from the New Jersey Commission on Spinal Cord Research. Shreiber, along with Yves Chabal (Biomedical Engineering and Chemistry), Kathryn Uhrich (Chemistry), and Helen Buettner (Biomedical Engineering and Chemical and Biochemical Engineering), will use microfluidics to optimize gradients of biomaterial properties in collagen scaffolds to enhance spinal cord regeneration.
