Biomedical and Chemical Engineering Professor Pranav Soman has been awarded funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to develop a groundbreaking method for fabricating organ-scale bone grafts – one modular unit at a time.

The project, titled “Building Blocks: LEGO-like assembly of perfusable ECM cubes to generate tissue-agnostic, suturable, organ-sized, viable and functional grafts” aims to address a critical shortage in organ transplantation by creating a scalable, on-demand alternative to donor tissue.
