New NIH Funding to Support UAB Total Joint Replacement Research Collaboration
National Science Foundation Funds Materials World Network in Nanomaterials at UAB
National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded a Materials World Network (MWN) program to support a project on international collaboration in nanomaterials in the Department of Physics (PI Andrei V. Stanishevsky, and Co-PI Yogesh K. Vohra). This Materials World Network project brings together faculty and students from the University of Alabama at Birmingham - Center for Nanoscale Materials and Biointegration (UAB-CNMB) and the Technical University of Lodz – EU-supported Centre of Excellence NANODIAM (TUL-NANODIAM, Poland). This is a new three-year program that will start on September 1, 2008.
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) has awarded an interdisciplinary predoctoral training grant to UAB that is entitled “Nanotechnology in Biosensors and Bioengineering”. It is five year program that started on September 1, 2007. Principal investigator for this training grant is CNMB Director Yogesh Vohra.
National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a three year grant to CNMB faculty that is entitled “Nanostructured Bioactive Polymer Fibers”. The Principal Investigator for this grant is Dr. Derrick Dean and Co-PI is Dr. Yogesh Vohra. This new program in polymeric biomaterials started on September 1, 2007.
In 2007, National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded a Shared Instrumentation Grant entitled "Imaging/Mapping Fourier Transform Infrared Microscope". PI for this NIH instrumentation grant is Dr. Andrei Stanishevsky of the Department of Physics. This new facility will be utilized by CNMB scientists to characterize biomaterials for applications in implants and tissue engineering.
