U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Cellular Patterns

9802417 Glazier这个美国-巴西奖项将支持圣母大学的James A.Glazier博士和里约热内卢联邦大学的Jose Roberto Iglesias教授之间的研究合作。这项研究的主题是了解组织和泡沫中复杂图案的形成。格雷泽博士在细胞模式领域开发了一个国际公认的项目。伊格莱西亚斯教授的研究小组是第一个使用Potts模型模拟细胞分裂的研究小组，他们为从理论上理解三维泡沫的结构和演化做出了许多贡献。他们建议研究四个不同的主题：将细胞分选成连贯组织的理论和实验，以及三维泡沫对气体扩散和排放的响应演化。这项拟议的研究可以解决细胞模式形成和生长中的一个重要问题，该问题可能在生物物理学和发育生物学领域具有重要应用。***

9802417 Glazier This U.S.-Brazil award will support a research collaboration between Dr. James A. Glazier, University of Notre Dame and Professor Jose Roberto Iglesias, Universidade Federal Do Rio Grande Do Sol. The subject of this research is to understand complex pattern formation in tissues and foams. Dr. Glazier has developed an internationally recognized program in the area of cellular patterns. Professor Iglesias' research group was the first to simulate cell division using the Potts model and they have made a number of contributions to the theoretical understanding of the structure and evolution of three-dimensional foams. They propose the study of four separate topics: the theory and experiment on the sorting of cells into a coherent tissue and the evolution of three dimensional foams in response to gas diffusion and drainage. The proposed research could address an important question in cellular pattern formation and growth that may have significant applications to the fields of biophysics and developmental biology. ***
