CAREER: Stress Response and Gene Induction in Biofilms and Relation to Biofilm Detachment

9623233 Stewart这个职业发展计划包括研究和教育活动。研究的目的是形成生物膜脱离的遗传基础。本研究的假设是存在积极控制脱落脱离过程的基因，这些基因受细胞环境或生理状态的调节。目标将是发展方法，诱导这些基因以比目前严重依赖杀菌剂更经济有效和环境上可接受的方式控制生物污染。教育计划的目标是让PI成为一名优秀的教师。这包括一系列经过深思熟虑的活动，以提高教学技巧。＊＊＊

9623233 Stewart This career development plan contains both research and education activities. The objective of the research is to form a genetic basis for biofilm detachment. The hypothesis of the research is that there are genes that actively control the process of sloughing detachment, and that these genes are regulated by cellular environment or physiological status. The objective would be to develop methods to induce these genes to control biofouling in a more cost effective and environmentally acceptable manner than the current heavy reliance on biocidal chemicals. The goal of the educational plan is for the PI to develop excellence as a teacher. This includes a set of well thought-out activities to improve teaching technique. ***
