A team of OSU researchers recently received a$1.2 million, two-year RC2/Grand Opportunities award from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ’stimulus package’ of the National Institute of Aging at NIH.

The team, coordinated by Nicanor Moldovan from the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Cardiology and the Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute and by Stuart Cooper, chair of William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has the goal to develop a new assay for stem/progenitor cells, and to test it in patients as correlated to their heart heath status.

This translational project was a joint application of investigators form the School of Engineering, Medical Center and Children’s Hospital. It encompasses fields from protein chemistry, materials science and magnetic particles to cell biology and vascular medicine.

Further information is available from Moldovan at nicanor.moldovan@osumc.edu or 247-7801; or from Cooper at coopers@chbmeng.ohio-state.edu or 247-8015.
