FAW: Cell Surface Glycoconjugates in Developmental Cell Cohesion

亨德森博士是该领域的先驱研究者， 发育细胞的凝聚力。 问题是 的功能和化学结构， 天冬酰胺连接的糖蛋白寡糖， 它与凝聚力有关。 该奖项是国家科学基金会女性教师奖 科学家和工程师。 该提案满足了一汽 目标，这是：1，承认优秀和有前途的 从事研究和学术工作的女科学家和女工程师 教学和2，以促进其进一步发展 careers.

Dr. Henderson is a pioneering investigator in the area of developmental cell cohesion in Dictyostelium. The problem being addressed is that of the function and chemical structure of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins which she has shown to be involved in cohesion. This award is a National Science Foundation Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers. The proposal fulfills the FAW objectives, which are: 1, to recognize outstanding and promising women scientists and engineers in academic careers of research and teaching and 2, to facilitate the further development of their careers.
