Presidential Young Investigator Award

这一奖项将用于将首席研究员(PI)目前在细胞-表面相互作用方面的研究计划扩展到组织工程的应用领域。细胞和组织与聚合物材料表面的相互作用将在分子和细胞水平上进行研究，涉及生物医学和生物技术应用。PI计划确定材料表面属性和表面-蛋白质-细胞相互作用，以导致所需的蛋白质、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.
