FAW: Cell Surface Glycoconjugates in Developmental Cell Cohesion

亨德森博士是盘基ostelium发育细胞内聚领域的先驱研究者。正在解决的问题是她已经证明参与内聚的糖蛋白的天冬酰胺连接寡糖的功能和化学结构。该奖项是美国国家科学基金会颁发给女性科学家和工程师的教师奖。该方案实现了一汽的目标，即：一是表彰在研究和教学学术生涯中杰出和有前途的女科学家和工程师；二是促进她们的职业发展。

Dr. Henderson is a pioneering investigator in the area of developmental cell cohesion in Dictyostelium. The problem being addressed is that of the function and chemical structure of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins which she has shown to be involved in cohesion. This award is a National Science Foundation Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers. The proposal fulfills the FAW objectives, which are: 1, to recognize outstanding and promising women scientists and engineers in academic careers of research and teaching and 2, to facilitate the further development of their careers.
