UB faculty member Vincent Tutino believes there’s a cost-effective and simple way to detect a potential brain aneurysm.
Through Neurovascular Diagnostics, a small biomedical company Tutino co-founded in 2016, a team of researchers is developing a way to screen individuals for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (IA), or brain aneurysms, with a blood test called AneuScreen.
To further this work, Neurovascular Diagnostics — co-founded by Hui Meng, UB Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering; Jeff Harvey, a Western New York entrepreneur; and Kenneth Snyder, assistant professor of neurosurgery — was recently awarded $2.9 million in Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funds by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The grant is expected to support research over the next three years.
