Research from UT and Spinal Balance featured on Front Page of Orthopedics This Week
Contaminated pedicle screws are a huge problem in the United States. They cause increased surgical site infections (SSI), causing increased hospitalizations and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. UT Engineering researchers developed the method of intraoperative implant prophylaxis (IIP) that could reduce pedicle-screw led deep-bone surgical site infection and screw loosening The participating researchers included Boren Lin, Ph.D.; Jeffrey C. Wang, M.D.; Christian Schultz, M.D.; Dean Steve R. Garfin, M.D.; Vijay K. Goel, Ph.D.; Neel Anand, M.D.; Anand K. Agarwal, M.D.; Hossein Elgafy, M.D.; Dennis McGowan, M.D.; Josue P. Gabriel, M.D.; and Chris Karas, M.D.

Chemical Engineering Faculty Win Award from UT Rocket Fuel Fund
Dr. Ana Alba-Rubio and Dr. Maria Coleman, both of the Chemical Engineering Department, will be receiving $50,000 from the UT Rocket Fuel Fund to develop technology on “Soluble and reusable superacid polymer catalysts for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) production.” HMF is a molecule obtained from sugar, which can be converted into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), which is a precursor of renewable plastics (non-petroleum based). They are trying to speed the production of HMF, so renewable plastics can be obtained more efficiently.
