CAREER: Biophysical Analysis of Adhesion Molecule Coated Microspheres

Goetz细胞粘附是多种生理和病理生理过程的中心。 对细胞粘附基本机制的理解已经并将继续导致新的医学疗法和技术。 该职业计划的具体研究目标是：（1）系统地研究使用白细胞粘附分子包被的微球在流动下控制细胞粘附的参数;（2）生成和表征整合素包被的微球。 该研究计划将用于培训工程师和生物学家，以更好地了解生命系统。 此外，还将开设以细胞粘附为主题的本科生/研究生课程。 ***

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. ***
