Dr. Chetan Jinadatha, a lead researcher with the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System, was awarded two grants valued at $3.2 million for his work in using self-sanitizing copper surface to reduce hospital-acquired infections and the implementation of VA patented technology to track disinfection of medical equipment.
On Friday, Jinadatha and other VA officials discussed the research and equipment now being used at the Olin E. Teague Veterans’ Medical Center.
