The School of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis said NIH has awarded a four-year R01 grant of $1.5 million to Chien-Chi Lin, associate professor of biomedical engineering. Lin’s research is focused on pancreatic cancer.
Lin’s project, “BRAVE Hydrogels for Interrogating Cell-Matrix Interactions in Pancreatic Desmoplasia,” focuses on tumor-tissue interactions using hydrogels with engineered properties.
