US-Egypt Planning Visit: Metabolic Systems Analysis

该奖项支持埃及开罗大学系统和生物医学工程系Ahmed ElHefnawy博士计划访问凯斯西部储备大学，会见生物医学工程系Gerald Saidel博士和营养系Henri Brunengraber博士。这次访问的目的是开发一项合作研究活动，利用稳定同位素的建模和实验来分析细胞代谢过程。这项研究是在代谢工程的新兴领域进行的，拟议的合作研究项目的结果预计将产生有关关键代谢途径的定量信息。

This award supports a planning visit by Dr. Ahmed ElHefnawy, of the Department of Systems and Biomedical Engineering at the Cairo University in Egypt, to visit Case Western Reserve University to meet with Dr. Gerald Saidel, of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and Dr. Henri Brunengraber, Department of Nutrition. The purpose of the visit is to develop a collaborative research activity to use modeling and experiments with stable isotopes to analyze cellular metabolic processes. The research is in the emerging field of metabolic engineering, and the results of the proposed collaborative research project are expected to yield quantitative information about key metabolic pathways.
