Grainger VIP Impact Report

Aside from research, we have received an RO1 grant from the National Institutes of Health for more than $2 million to develop a battery-free and flexible vagus nerve stimulation device that can be implanted on the stomach surface to control food intake. I also assembled and led a 12-faculty team and prepared a technology development center proposal (approximately $11 million), named Biomaterials and Biotechnology Center, for the biomaterials network at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. This application is still pending.
