Congratulations to Yan Li, a Faculty Affiliate of the Institute for Successful Longevity and a researcher at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, for securing $1.8 million in support for a project to use artificially grown, simplified mini-organs to create medicine that targets brain cells damaged by stroke.

The research team will use stem cells to create miniature organs that resemble human brains. From those so-called brain organoids, they will harvest particles that are naturally released by cells and engineer them to act as medicine where it’s needed in the brain of a patient.
