BBSRC grant awarded to Dr Divya Chari
Dr Divya Chari, Senior Lecturer in Physiological Sciences, together with Dr David Furness, has been awarded a grant of £304,000 by the British Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research council (BBSRC).
The grant will support a project entitled “Magnetic nanoparticle mediated delivery of neurotherapeutic genes to multipotent neural stem cell transplant populations”. The work will build on proof-of-concept data generated under a BBSRC New Investigator Award made to Dr Chari in 2008. The development of rapid, high throughput methods to study interactions between nanomaterial and stem cells is a major goal for the project.
Dr Chari is currently delivering a series of scientific lectures in India. She has spoken at a range of prestigious research institutions including the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in Hyderabad and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), both in Bangalore.
