Ramya’s proposal “Machine-guided design of chaperone-mimetic polymeric carriers for ribonucleoprotein delivery” was awarded the prestigious TrailBlazer R21 by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering.

“The Trailblazer R21 Award is an opportunity for New and Early Stage Investigators to pursue research programs of high interest to the NIBIB at the interface of the life sciences with engineering and the physical sciences”.

We are grateful to our NIBIB PO, Dr. Jermont Chen, and to our co-investigators Prof. Gerard Madlambayan (Department Head and Professor, Biological Sciences, Oakland University) and Prof. Serveh Kamrava (Assistant Professor, Petroleum Engineering, Mines) for their unstinting support.
