In addition, her Department of Defense grant is providing ongoing funding for her Reanimation project administered through PAIRE at the Palo Alto VA, "Our research team includes Stanford, UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz engineers, and was provided with generous funding to develop nano-technology implants that will advance current medical and surgical therapies in both of my subspecialty areas."
