Vorp Lab Receives $750,000 Collaborative Sciences Award from AHA

The Vorp Lab and researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering recently received a competitive award from the American Heart Association (AHA) for research that hopes to provide early, minimally invasive treatment for aortic aneurysms. Senior Associate Dean for Research & Facilities and Professor of Bioengineering David Vorp and his team in his Vascular Bioengineering Laboratory will collaborate with Carnegie Mellon and Vanderbilt University on the project, “Clickable Extracellular Vesicles for Aneurysm Stabilization,” which won the AHA’s Collaborative Sciences Award.The Collaborative Sciences Award will support this project for three years and provide $250,000 in funding each year, or $750,000 total.
