Ultra-compact GaN based integrated industrial drive for PCB stator motors

PCB stator motors are an emerging research area with cost and efficiency benefits compared to traditional motors. PCB stator motors with integrated variable frequency drives have the potential for significant power density improvements if Galium Nitride (GaN) power semiconductors are used in the drive. In this project, emerging high voltage GaN semiconductors will be used […]

Directly reprogrammed neural precursor cell transplants to treat chronic stroke

Stroke is one of the leading causes of acquired long-term disability worldwide. There are >60,00 thousand new cases of stroke each year and >400,000 patients currently living with chronic disabilities. There are limited interventions to treat the acutely stroke injured brains and no treatments to improve the chronic condition. Herein, we will explore the efficacy […]
