UC Irvine Receives a 2020 NIH Grant for In Vivo Imaging and Quantification of Cilia Beating Dynamics Using Phase-Resolved Optical Imaging Technology
University of California at Irvine Receives a 2020 NIH Grant for $593,557 for In Vivo Imaging and Quantification of Cilia Beating Dynamics Using Phase-Resolved Optical Imaging Technology. The principal investigator is Zhongping Chen. Below is a summary of the proposed work. Each year, 50M Americans suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and allergic rhinitis (AR). The economic impact accounts for over $35B/year in health care expenditures alone, with over 3.5M work and 2M school days lost each year.
