ENGs Mark Grinstaff One of Six Researchers to Receive NSF Trailblazer Engineering Impact Awards | The Brink – Boston University
Biomedical engineer and his team will use the funds to develop a new vaccine technology A new technology that could revolutionize vaccines has garnered Boston Universitys Mark Grinstaff one of just six inaugural Trailblazer Engineering Impact Awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The $3 million award will allow Grinstaff to explore new possibilities in the engineering of messenger RNA for vaccines with reduced side effects, along with other applications. The vaccine weve created is effective at a 100-fold lower dose than is currently common, says Grinstaff, a William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor
