Presidential Young Investigator Award

该奖项将用于扩大校长 研究者（PI）当前的研究项目 细胞表面相互作用的应用领域 组织工程学 细胞和组织的相互作用 聚合物材料表面将在 在分子和细胞水平上， 生物医学和生物技术应用。 PI计划 确定材料表面特性， 表面-蛋白质-细胞相互作用，导致所需的 蛋白质、细胞和组织行为。

This award will be used to expand the Principal Investigator's (PI) current research program in cell-surface interactions into areas of application in tissue engineering. The interaction of cells and tissues with polymeric material surfaces will be investigated at the molecular and cellular level, addressing both biomedical and biotechnological applications. The PI plans to determine material surface properties and surface-protein-cell interactions that lead to the desired protein, cell and tissue behavior.
