NSF grant for Ghodssi, Bentley furthers research of flexible devices to combat biofilms

Professor Reza Ghodssi(ECE/ISR) is the Principal Investigator and Professor William Bentley (BIOE/IBBR) is the co-PI for a three-year, $330K grant from the National Science Foundation for “Development of Flexible Microsystems for Dynamic Bacterial Biofilm Management.” The new award will further the researchers’ development of dynamic flexible sensor microsystems for detecting, monitoring, treating and inhibiting bacterial biofilms on complex surfaces such as urinary catheters, prosthetic implants and water systems.
