INBRE: CLEMSON U: ENHANCEMENT OF BIOENGINEERING AT CLEMSON UNIVERSITY

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。SC-INBRE项目的主题重点是“开发和应用生物工程”，总体重点是心血管疾病的再生医学。克莱姆森大学（CU）作为SC-INBRE联盟的团队成员，将通过建立“心血管生物材料核心”（CBC），在心血管工程设计和表征创新生物材料方面发挥领导作用。CBC将为SC INBRE联盟的研究人员提供支持，包括生物材料的设计，用作细胞生长的支架或底物（Thrust I），生物材料和工程组织的化学（Thrust II）和机械（Thrust III）表征，以及细胞-材料反应的组织技术分析（Thrust IV）。如有必要，推力研究人员将协助INBRE研究人员制定制备方法的方案。将根据需要提供技术监督，以协助研究人员制定样品制备和样品制备的方案。此外，CU的机构BRIN指导委员会选择了三个有针对性的研究项目，因为它们具有提高CBC技术能力的巨大潜力，同时显著推进心血管生物工程研究。项目1涉及天然生物材料设计，项目2侧重于生物衍生涂层的开发及其表征，项目3研究心血管生物材料的表面现象。PI将担任项目总监。INBRE在科罗拉多大学的活动将由克莱姆森大学路线图委员会和外部指导委员会密切监测。项目主管和推力领导将定期对项目进行评估，以监测CBC研究人员（包括目标教员）的研究效率。衡量成功的标准将包括出版物、奖项、拨款提案提交和资助，以及教育成果。SC-INBRE项目的主题重点是“开发和应用生物工程”，总体重点是心血管疾病的再生医学。克莱姆森大学（CU），作为SC-INBRE联盟的一员，将在心血管工程方面发挥领导作用，通过建立？心血管生物材料核心？(CBC)。CBC将为SC INBRE联盟的研究人员提供支持，包括生物材料的设计，用作细胞生长的支架或底物（Thrust I），生物材料和工程组织的化学（Thrust II）和机械（Thrust III）表征，以及细胞-材料反应的组织技术分析（Thrust IV）。如有必要，推力研究人员将协助INBRE研究人员制定制备方法的方案。将根据需要提供技术监督，以协助研究人员制定样品制备和样品制备的方案。此外，CU的机构BRIN指导委员会选择了三个有针对性的研究项目，因为它们具有提高CBC技术能力的巨大潜力，同时显著推进心血管生物工程研究。项目1涉及天然生物材料设计，项目2侧重于生物衍生涂层的开发及其表征，项目3研究心血管生物材料的表面现象。PI将担任项目总监。INBRE在科罗拉多大学的活动将由克莱姆森大学路线图委员会和外部指导委员会密切监测。项目主管和推力领导将定期对项目进行评估，以监测CBC研究人员（包括目标教员）的研究效率。衡量成功的标准将包括出版物、奖项、拨款提案提交和资助，以及教育成果。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The thematic focus for the SC-INBRE program is "Development and Applied Bioengineering" with a general focus on regenerative medicine for cardiovascular diseases. Clemson University (CU), as a team member of the SC-INBRE coalition, will provide leadership in cardiovascular engineering for the design and characterization of innovative biomaterials by establishing the "Cardiovascular Biomaterials Core" (CBC). The CBC will provide support to researchers of the SC INBRE coalition in terms of design of biomaterials to be used as scaffolds or substrates for cell growth (Thrust I), chemical (Thrust II) and mechanical (Thrust III) characterization of biomaterials and engineered tissues, and histotechnological analysis of the cell-material reactions (Thrust IV). INBRE researchers will be assisted for protocol development for preparation methods if necessary by thrust researchers. Technical supervision will be provided as needed to assist researchers in the development of protocols for the preparation of samples, as well as sample preparation. Additionally, three targeted research projects have been selected by the Institutional BRIN Steering Committee at CU because of their high potential to enhance the technological capability of the CBC while significantly advancing cardiovascular bioengineering research. Project 1 addresses natural biomaterial design, Project 2 focuses on the development of biologically derived coatings and their characterization, and Project 3 investigates cardiovascular biomaterial surface phenomena. The PI will serve as the Program Director. The INBRE activities at CU will be closely monitored by the Clemson University Road Map Council and an external steering committee. Assessment of the program will be performed periodically by the Program Director and Thrust Leaders to monitor research productivity among CBC researchers including target faculty. Measures of success will include publications, awards, grant proposal submission and funding, and educational outcomes.
