PI: Guasto, Jeffrey Proposal Number: 1554095 This CAREER proposal is focused on the investigation of how the material properties of viscous fluids affect the motion of cells. The goal is to contribute insights into the broad field of cell transport, and to understand how different physical processes affecting the swimming of cells can regulate a host of diverse biological functions. The results of this research could have an impact on multiple fields, including public health, ecology, engineering and medicine. Phenomena that are important to the treatment of fertility and the mechanisms of spreading of disease will be investigated.While most prior work in this area has been focused on cases of swimming in Newtonian fluids (aquatic environments mainly), and ideally shaped swimmers, this is a proposal to investigate the swimming of real bacteria cells and in non-Newtonian fluids, like cervical mucus. The development of a novel nano-scale experimental technique, based on high speed imaging, for the monitoring of the motion of each individual cell is also proposed. In addition to graduate and undergraduate student training, a new outreach program (STOMP) will be developed in collaboration with Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach that will be based on using high-speed imaging.

PI：Guasto，Jeffrey提案编号：1554095该职业提案的重点是研究粘性流体的材料特性如何影响细胞的运动。目的是为细胞运输的广泛领域提供洞察力，并了解影响细胞游泳的不同物理过程如何调节各种不同的生物学功能。这项研究的结果可能会影响多个领域，包括公共卫生，生态，工程和医学。将研究对于治疗生育能力和疾病传播机制至关重要的现象。虽然该领域的大多数先前工作都集中在牛顿液在牛顿液中游泳的情况（主要是水生环境）以及理想形状的游泳者，但这是一项调查真实细菌细胞和非纽顿式流体的游泳的建议，例如cervicals cervicals。还提出了基于高速成像的新型纳米级实验技术的开发，以监测每个单个细胞的运动。 除了研究生和本科生培训外，还将与Tufts工程教育中心合作开发新的外展计划（Stomp），该计划将基于使用高速成像。
