The chair of the Bioengineering Department at The University of Texas at Arlington is investigating whether a combination of nanoparticles and light therapy can better treat traumatic brain injuries on the battlefield.
The Office of Naval Research awarded Michael Cho a three-year, $794,503 grant to determine if a combination of a non-biologic polymer and light waves is an effective treatment for battlefield brain injuries.
“The benefit of using multiple modes of treatment is that when they are combined, their effects are multiplied,” said Cho, who also is a UTA professor of bioengineering. “These treatments would be easy to administer on the battlefield, so injured soldiers could minimize the risk of suffering
