CAREER: Biophysical Analysis of Adhesion Molecule Coated Microspheres

9733542戈茨细胞黏附是各种生理和病理生理过程的中心。对细胞黏附的基本机制的了解已经并将继续导致新的医疗疗法和技术的出现。这项职业计划的具体研究目标是：(1)利用白细胞黏附分子包裹微球系统地研究控制流动状态下细胞黏附的参数；(2)制备和表征整合素包裹微球。该研究计划将用于培训工程师和生物学家更好地了解生命系统。此外，还将开设一门本科生/研究生水平的关于细胞黏附的课程。***

9733542 Goetz Cell adhesion is at the center of a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes. An understanding of the basic mechanisms of cell adhesion has led and will continue to lead to novel medical therapies and technologies. Specific research aims of this career program are to: (1) systematically study the parameters which govern cell adhesion under flow using leukocyte adhesion molecule coated microspheres; and (2) generate and characterize integrin coated microspheres. The research program is to be used to train engineers and biologists in a better understanding of living systems. In addition,an undergraduate/graduate level course in the topic of cell adhesion is to be initiated. ***
