CWRU researchers to help develop potentially life-saving synthetic blood substitute
ideastream: Anirban Sen Gupta, the Leonard Case Jr. Professor of Engineering at Case School of Engineering, discussed a new U.S. Department of Defense-funded $46.4 million project to create a freeze-dried blood substitute that could potentially save thousands of lives. “Our goal is to get it to work like blood as close as possible,” Sen Gupta said. “If I want to put a number on it, it would be 90% or more as close to real blood.”
