QSI RENU members Jacqueline Burke and Daniel Borja-Cacho are using nanoparticles to rehabilitate donor livers that would otherwise be discarded. WGN News covered their collaborative project, which could significantly expand the pool of organs available for transplantation.
Directed by Igor Efimov, the Cardiovascular Engineering and Technology Center (CVET) will focus on advancing the fundamental understanding of cardiac arrhythmias, as well as developing biological and device-based therapeutic strategies to preserve or regenerate heart tissue.
Six projects have been selected for funding through the QSI RENU Catalyst Research Awards program. The projects are each led by two faculty members — one with engineering expertise and one with clinical expertise — and cover a broad range of targets in regenerative engineering.
Northwestern Magazine profiled Jonathan Rivnay’s work to develop an implantable “living pharmacy” that can deliver therapeutics on demand. The article highlighted several applications for Rivnay's biohybrid devices, including collaborations with fellow QSI RENU members Colin Franz, Guillermo Ameer, and Shana Kelley.
