Researchers at UC are taking part in a new nearly $2 million, multiyear study that will help develop a new generation of PPE, or personal protective equipment, for health care workers.
UC researchers will work with teams from Iowa State University and the University of California-Davis to improve the design, function and safety of PPE, or personal protective equipment. The study is part of a multi-institutional, four-year grant worth $1.8 million from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In coverage of the study by the Cincinnati Business Courier, Sergey Grinshpun, MD, of the Department of Environmental and Public Health at the UC College of Medicine said one of the goals of the research is to develop self-decontaminating PPE.
