School of Science and Engineering's Professor Melikhan Tanyeri Secures Prestigious Research Grant for Trailblazing Biomedical Engineering Project
Duquesne University proudly announces that Dr. Melikhan Tanyeri, a distinguished member of the Biomedical Engineering faculty, has been awarded a prestigious research grant for his groundbreaking project, "A novel multifunctional platform to study cell and nuclear mechanosensing." This achievement has been made possible through the generous funding provided by the NSF Engineering - UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Lead Agency Opportunity (ENG-EPSRC).
The collaboration between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council demonstrates a commitment to advancing scientific knowledge through cross-border cooperation. By joining forces, US and UK researchers aim to tackle an endeavor that will pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries in the field of biomedical engineering.
Dr. Tanyeri's project focuses on cell and nuclear mechanosensing, a field with vast implications for the understanding of biological processes and disease mechanisms. By focusing on this area of study, the research team seeks to unlock new frontiers in biomedical engineering and contribute to a profound impact on human health.
An integral aspect of this initiative lies in its diverse and international partnership, uniting expertise from both sides of the Atlantic. Dr. Tanyeri's group will collaborate closely with three esteemed groups in the United Kingdom, creating a synergistic alliance of world-renowned researchers working together towards a common goal.
Dr. Leda Klouda, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, will play a vital role as senior personnel for the project, contributing her valuable insights and expertise to ensure the success of this transformative research.
