International Seed Grant

Professor Rafael and André have received an International Seed Grant from the NYUAD Internal Grant Funding Committee to develop a collaborative research proposal with the Centre for Future Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, based at the University of Glasgow, targeting an EPSRC research grant for Healthcare Technologies. This marks the beginning of a partnership between NYUAD and the University of Glasgow, fostering a long-term academic network between the two universities. They envision a realistic computational representation of the arterial environment — disturbed by an invasive device — to better understand the competitive hemodynamics and device-vessel interaction in a cannulated artery. Ultimately, this shall lead to the creation of innovative medical devices that address current therapy limitations.
