NIH grant awarded to develop self-healing vascular grafts for hemodialysis patients, involving elastomer design and animal testing.
Description
This NIH grant supports research on developing self-healing vascular grafts for use as arteriovenous shunts in hemodialysis patients. The project involves designing elastomers with dynamic bonds, testing in animal models, and aims to produce a graft accessible within 1-2 weeks of surgical placement.
