Posted By: Hija Chang on October 27, 2016 FEATURED Content A partnership with the University of Pennsylvania has earned ASU's College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (C-STEM) a portion of a $24 million NSF grant. --- Alabama University researchers will have more support to advance their work thanks to a partnership with the University of Pennsylvania Science and Technology Center funded by a grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF). ASU’s portion of the $24 million grant totals $901,000, which will facilitate research in ASU’s College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (C-STEM). The five-year grant will establish The Center for Engineering Mechanobiology (CEMB) at the University of Pennsylvania with ASU researchers collaborating with their staff on the way cells exert and are influenced by the physical forces in their environment. More specifically, ASU researchers will fabricate novel materials for tissue regeneration, participate in courses designed to merge principles from engineering and biology, and visit partner institutions to foster synergistic relationships and find solutions to many problems. Other institutions cultivating partnerships with ASU researchers are colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Washington in St. Louis, The University of Texas, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Bryn Mawr College and Boston University. Derrick Dean“The project builds on collaborations with the Center for Nanobiotechnology Research Center (CNBR),” said Dr. Derrick Dean, the principal investigator. “In addition to research, the center also will have a teaching component with consortium members training students in the field of engineering mechanobiology, and preparing them for careers as innovative leaders, who are ready to collaborate in order to solve society’s biggest problems.” Dean and co-principal investigator Elijah Nyair are both in ASU’s Integrated Bio Engineering and Advanced Materials (I-BEAM) Center in the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
