Her research offers potential future applications in the regeneration of diseased or damaged tissue by looking at the separate formation and then seamless connection of muscle to tendon to bone.
The $1.5 million award will fund Calve’s project over the next five years. The NIH Director’s New Innovator Award is part of the High-Risk, High-Reward Research program and issued to only around 30 recipients each year.
