Professor Prabhas Moghe was awarded a three year $300 K grant from the Bioengineering Division of the NSF for his project entitled "Nanoscale Engineering of LDL-Retentive Substrates". The study proposes the synthesis and design of nanoscale substrates with high binding affinities for low density lipoproteins for use in the treatment of atherosclerosis. Collaborators include Rutgers Professors Kathryn Uhrich (Chemistry),Silvina Tomassone (Chemical Engineering), and Yicheng Lu (Electrical and Computer Engineering).
