Since joining the Institute, Dr. Little has received Career Development Awards from both the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health for his unique approach toward drug delivery based therapeutics. This year, Dr. Little has been named a Young Investigator by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation for his innovative research, the only University of Pittsburgh faculty to have ever received this award and also 1 of only 2 engineers in the country to receive it. Researchers in Dr. Little’s lab focus upon therapies that are biomimetic in that they replicate the biological function and interactions of living entities using synthetic systems.
