DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this award is to develop an expert in blood/materials science. Why this project; why this candidate; and why this environment? Blood flows through the envelope of endothelium for a lifetime without clotting. When blood contacts anything but endothelium (collagen tissue, air, metal, plastic) it clots in a few seconds. This is normal physiology. Most of modern medicine depends on understanding these phenomena. We take advantage of it to allow all surgical procedures from venipuncture to transplantation. We try to prevent it when blood contacts medical devices from simple catheters to complex artificial organs. Better understanding of the physiology will result in better, safer blood contact devices which will impact all of medicine. For 100 years this research was focused on the components of the blood. Now it is focused on the endothelium. A blood/materials expert brings basic engineering and biologic science to the benefit of patients in every field of medicine. Dr. Hitesh Handa has the basic engineering knowledge. He also has the practical experience in development of blood contact devices. To this background he will add the chemistry of the endothelium, the biologic systems to evaluate materials, and experience in clinical application. In five years he will be on the small but vital roster of experts in blood/materials science. The combination of mentors, facilities and expertise at the University of Michigan provides an outstanding environment for Dr. Handa's development. Dr. Bartlett is a clinical surgeon and intensivist who has taken clinical problems to the biology laboratory for decades. Dr. Mark Meyerhoff is a basic scientist who has taken molecular chemistry to the biology laboratory for decades. Their combined research is focused on simulating the normal endothelium. Their students are among the experts in blood/materials science, from chemists and research biologists to industrial developers to clinical practitioners. .

描述（由申请人提供）：该奖项的目标是培养血液/材料科学专家。为什么是这个项目;为什么是这个候选人;为什么是这个环境？血液在内皮细胞的包膜中流动而不凝结。当血液接触到内皮以外的任何东西（胶原组织、空气、金属、塑料）时，它会在几秒钟内凝结。这是正常的生理现象。大多数现代医学都依赖于对这些现象的理解。我们利用它来允许从静脉穿刺到移植的所有外科手术。当血液接触到从简单的导管到复杂的人造器官的医疗设备时，我们试图防止它。更好地了解生理学将导致更好、更安全的血液接触设备，这将影响所有医学。100年来，这项研究一直集中在血液的成分上。现在它的重点是内皮。血液/材料专家将基础工程和生物科学带给各个医学领域的患者。Hitesh Handa博士具有基本的工程知识。他还具有开发血液接触器械的实践经验。在此背景下，他将增加内皮的化学，生物系统，以评估材料，并在临床应用中的经验。五年后，他将成为血液/材料科学领域为数不多但至关重要的专家。密歇根大学的导师，设施和专业知识的结合为汉达博士的发展提供了出色的环境。Bartlett博士是一名临床外科医生和重症监护医生，数十年来一直将临床问题带到生物实验室。Mark Meyerhoff博士是一位基础科学家，几十年来一直将分子化学带到生物实验室。他们的联合研究集中在模拟正常内皮细胞。他们的学生是血液/材料科学方面的专家，从化学家和研究生物学家到工业开发人员再到临床医生。.
