Northwestern Receives $7.5M NIH Grant to Fund Major Studies in Paralysis,
Diabetes 

A group of seven Northwestern scientists, engineers and physicians who are
tackling two critical health problems - the treatment of paralysis and
diabetes - has received $7.5 million over five years from the National
Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering at the National Institutes
of Health. The researchers, who ultimately would like to help paralyzed
people walk again and enable diabetic individuals to lead a normal life
without daily treatments or organ donations, are using regenerative medicine
as their approach to achieving these goals.
