Chen receives $1.6 million to study combining intranasal drug delivery, focused ultrasound

Hong Chen, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering and of radiation oncology at the School of Medicine, received a $1.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)'s National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. The research will fund a broader understanding of Chen's earlier work combining intranasal drug delivery and focused ultrasound (FUSIN). It will also combine her latest research in imaging toward developing image-guided drug delivery.
