A National Science Foundation grant will be used to train students in the field of biomedical engineering.
One of Alabama State University’s nationally acclaimed research scientists has been awarded a three-year, $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Excellence in Research program to conduct tissue regeneration research to help wound victims.
Associate ASU professor of biology Dr. Komal Vig was awarded the grant that is titled “Excellence in Research: Skin Tissue Regeneration Using Smart Scaffolds.” She said it will lead to innovative strategies to regenerate tissues after damage, which can help in wound healing.
“The grant will train both undergraduate and graduate students in the field of biomedical engineering,” Vig said. The grant period is from Oct. 2018 to Sept 2021.
She said the need is great for specialized skin tissues that can be used for wound healing and for replacement of skin damaged due to disease (e.g., diabetes caused ulcers) or injury (e.g. burns).
