New Jersey Health Foundation (NJHF) has granted more than $ 1.5 million in seed financing to researchers from the University of Rowan this spring, reaching a record. The subsidies will support 34 efforts at an early stage, which allows investigators to collect crucial evidence necessary for the greatest research subsidies. In the end, prices could help stimulate innovative ideas towards clinical implementation.
In a testimony of Rowan’s expanding research efforts with local health systems, several new projects include collaborators at Virtua Health, Cooper University Health Care and Inspira Health.
Mary Staehle and Erik Brewer (Department of Biomedical Engineering, Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering) leads two projects that fill the university with external partners. With the Nasser of Virtua Center for Organ Transplantation, MD, an effort aims to understand how much medical imaging and improved prehospital segmentation are correlated with the results of organ transplantation.
With employees at Virtua, Inspira and New Jersey Department of Health, a second project will explore the potential use of artificial intelligence by emergency medical services to optimize pre-hospital patients.
Kingsley Yin (Department of Cellular Biology and Neuroscience, Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine) Works with Emilio Mazza, MD of Virtua, to develop a self-antibodies profile as a new biomarker for sepsis. Previous detection and intervention in this potentially fatal inflammatory response could prevent organ failure and improve survival rates.
Dimitri Pestov (Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology, Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine) works with the Choi Choi Choi, MD of Virtua, to explore the potential biomarkers of tissue injury after a stroke or blockage.
Patrick Hwang (Department of Biomedical Engineering, Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering) collaborates with Thomas Sachetta, DPM, at the Virtua Health Foot & Ankle clinic to accelerate the healing of diabetic ulcers.
Vince Beachley and Sebastian Vega (Department of Biomedical Engineering, Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering) work with David Fuller, MD of Cooper, to explore new technologies for manufacturing materials for the repair of the peripheral nerve.
