Washington - U.S. Congressman Jerry Costello (D-IL) announced today that Southern Illinois University Carbondale has been awarded a $218,250 grant from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The funds will be used for research in the Coating Effects on MR Relaxivities: Dendron-iron Oxide Nanoparticle Models.
