The National Science Foundation has chosen innovative research performed at Rutgers BME to highlight the impact of NSF-supported research in securing national health and well-being. The project entitled Brain-on-a-Chip is a collaborative effort among several faculty led by Professor Martin Yarmush including Professors Jeff Zahn, Nada Boustany, and Bonnie Firestein. These investigators and their lab personnel have produced a working traumatic brain injury model on a chip which can assist researchers in gaining a better understanding of illnesses caused by brain dysfunction and aid in the discovery of medicines for their treatment.
