ABSTRACTOISE 0737735- LI, Bingyun, West Virginia University (WVU)Planning visit to China to Establish Collaboration in Developing Advanced Biomedical DevicesThis award provides travel and participant support for the U.S. PI, Dr. Bingyun Li, Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedics and Chemical Engineering, West Virginia University, to undertake a 10-day planning visit November 6-15, 2007 to assess facilities and plan future research cooperation at two labs in the area of advanced biomedical devices. The PI will visit with scientists at two institutions with related and complementary expertise: Dr. GAO, Changyou of the Polymer Sciences and Engineering Department of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China; and Dr. YANG, Ke at the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenyang, China. The goal of these visits is to develop research proposals on drug-eluting biodegradable metal devices (Dr. Yang's lab) and polypeptide microcapsules for controlled drug delivery (Dr. Gao's lab). The planning visits are expected to lead to next generation fracture fixation devices (e.g., bone screws) that prevent or delay the onset of infection. In October 2008 and May 2009, the PI will bring one undergraduate student and one graduate student respectively to conduct experiments at these sites and be mentored by Dr. Gao and Dr. Yang. The proposed planning visit will allow the U.S. PI to develop a new, mutually beneficial collaboration with his Chinese counterparts. All participants have complementary expertise and qualifications. A visit is a necessary step in solidifying future research plans. The visits will include a female undergraduate biology major and a graduate student at WVU. The PI will introduce students to a broad network of scientists and graduate students in China. Each will spend one week in the lab, characterizing polypeptide microcapsules and testing the biocompatibility of metal devices, respectively. Professor Gao and Professor Yang will serve as mentors for the two students, and the PI will prepare the U.S. students to work effectively in international lab environment.

美国西弗吉尼亚大学整形外科与化学工程系助理教授李秉云博士计划访问中国，建立先进生物医学设备的开发合作。该奖项为美国主要研究者李秉云博士提供旅行和参与者支持，他将于11月6日至15日进行为期10天的计划访问。2007年，评估设施，并计划在先进的生物医学设备领域的两个实验室未来的研究合作。 PI将访问两个具有相关和互补专业知识的机构的科学家：中国杭州浙江大学高分子科学与工程系的高长友博士和中国沉阳中国科学院金属研究所的杨克博士。 这些访问的目的是开发药物洗脱可生物降解金属装置（杨博士的实验室）和多肽微胶囊控制药物释放（高博士的实验室）的研究计划。 计划访问预计将导致下一代骨折固定器械（例如，骨螺钉），其防止或延迟感染的发生。 2008年10月和2009年5月，PI将分别带一名本科生和一名研究生到这些地点进行实验，并由高博士和杨博士指导。 拟议中的计划访问将使美国PI与中国同行建立新的互利合作关系。 所有参与者都具有互补的专业知识和资格。 访问是巩固未来研究计划的必要步骤。 访问将包括一名生物学专业的女本科生和一名西弗吉尼亚大学的研究生。 PI将向学生介绍中国广泛的科学家和研究生网络。 每个人都将在实验室度过一周，分别表征多肽微胶囊和测试金属设备的生物相容性。 高教授和杨教授将担任两位学生的导师，PI将帮助美国学生在国际实验室环境中有效工作。
