Professor Martin Yarmush (left), and a team of co-PIs including professors Jeff Zahn (below), Bonnie Firestein (below), and Nada Boustany (below) were awarded a 3-year NSF grant for $422,697 for a project entitled, “Brain-on-a-chip for Traumatic Brain Injury Drug Discovery". These investigators will use the Brain slice-on-a-Chip platform developed in the Yarmush lab to simulate traumatic brain injury, and then examine drug interventions that minimize injury effects.
