CASE-BML PhD candidate Yunus Alapan received a Special
Recognition Award from the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Department (March 2015) for his contributions to Sickle Cell
Disease Research at CWRU: (1) for developing a BioChip that
allows biophysical interrogation of red blood cells in a rapid
and efficient way, which has enabled the largest clinical study
of its kind at University Hospitals with participation of more
than 100 patients so far; (2) for winning the first place in
Medical Category of the 2014 NASA Tech Briefs Create the Future
Design Contest, among 1,074 entries from over 60 countries
across six continents.
