Engineering of Biomedical Systems (348796)

The Engineering of Biomedical Systems (EBMS) program aims to fund research projects that use an engineering framework to address biomedical problems, improving understanding of physiological or pathophysiological processes. This grant program supports projects that:

1. Develop validated models of tissues and organ systems for fundamental understanding or future medical interventions.
2. Design systems integrating living and non-living components for better physiological understanding, potentially aiding future diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment.
3. Apply technologies and tools to investigate physiological and pathophysiological processes.
4. Advance biomanufacturing of three-dimensional tissues and organs.
5. Employ engineering tools and mathematical modeling to study and modulate the immune system in contexts such as infectious diseases, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.

These projects should aim for fundamental advancements that integrate engineering and biomedical sciences, potentially leading to medical applications.
