This program supports the development and demonstration of broadly applicable screening and high-throughput tools to enable the translation of new paradigms of human health.
Emphasis:
The emphasis is on the development of screening and high-throughput tools and associated computational models to enable biomedical interventions.
Projects might focus on:
- elucidating important engineering design rules or key foundational principles underlying future engineering, including the use of computational methods
- prototyping or redesigning platform technologies and approaches
- characterizing (in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo) broadly applicable technologies, prototypes, and lead candidate products
NIBIB interests include but are not limited to:
- evolution methods for identifying therapeutic protein targets
- organs-on-chips for drug screening
- microfluidic systems for high-throughput screening of extracellular vesicles
