NanoES faculty member Ayokunle Olanrewaju (bioengineering, mechanical engineering) and collaborators Ashleigh Theberge and Erwin Berthier will develop a platform for at-home self-collection of blood, serum separation, and sample stabilization at sufficient sample volumes for comprehensive HIV monitoring.
NanoES faculty member Ayokunle Olanrewaju (bioengineering and mechanical engineering) has earned a Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences. The $2.1 million grant is for five years. Often referred to as “R35 awards,” these grants support broad research programs over the course of several years, providing the nation’s most talented and promising researchers “greater stability…enhancing scientific productivity and the chances for important breakthroughs.”
The Institute for Nano-engineered Systems (NanoES) is thrilled to welcome seven new faculty members for the 2021-22 academic year. With research ranging from the development of bio-inspired, lightweight sensors to engineering infrastructure for quantum systems, these faculty members are poised to help develop solutions to grand challenges in information processing, energy, health, and interconnected life.
