This research is representative of the numerous involvements NC State’s College of Engineering has with other institutions and enterprises across the nation and throughout the world, typifying our theme of engineering without borders. In this story, chemical and biomolecular engineer Jason Haugh works on a team of 40 researchers from 23 institutions collaborating on research to better understand wound healing and cancer progression. Supporting this valuable research is a grant renewal of $35.7 million from National Institutes of Health.
