Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship

9308063 Palmore 该研究员将研究蛋白质与表面成分的相互作用。 生物传感器、人造器官和合成生物流体设计的一个常见问题是无法控制表面/流体相互作用。 当前生物相容性材料的设计基于对结构不明确的表面上的蛋白质吸附的研究。 人们对蛋白质吸附的分子机制知之甚少。 具体来说，该研究员将研究细胞色素 c 在几个明确的表面上的吸附。 研究结果将导致生物相容性表面合理设计策略的发展，以及蛋白质吸附研究通用技术的发展。 这项工作将在哈佛大学 George Whitesides 教授的实验室进行。 ***

9308063 Palmore This Fellow will study the interaction of proteins with surface components. A common problem with the design of biosensors, artificial organs and synthetic biological fluids is the inability to control surface/fluid interactions. Current design of biologically compatible materials is based on studies of protein adsorption at structurally ill-defined surfaces. Molecular mechanisms by which proteins are adsorbed are poorly understood. Specifically, this Fellow will study the adsorption of cytochrome c at several well-defined surfaces. Results of the studies will lead to the development of a strategy toward the rational design of biocompatible surfaces, and development of a general technique for study of protein adsorption. This work will be performed in the laboratory of Professor George Whitesides at Harvard University. ***
