Tony Jun Huang, James Henderson Assistant Professor at the ESM Department, along with Prof. James Connor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center, will be awarded the Grace Woodward Grant for Collaborative Research in Engineering and Medicine for their proposal titled “Nanoporous Polymer Structure-based Biosensor Array for the Detection of RNA-Protein Interactions”.

The Grace Woodward Grants for Collaborative Research in Engineering and Medicine are an outgrowth of the Grace Woodward Endowments to Penn State. These merit-based awards are presented to PSU faculty on a competitive basis for creating or capitalizing on opportunities to use engineering to solve problems in the life sciences and medicine.
