| Description of Research | |
| We are applying engineers' tools (biochmical reaction kinetics, ratio imaging at the single cell level, mathematical modeling, etc) to issues in neurobiology. For example, we are using neuroblastoma cells as a model system in investigations ranging from biological effects of simulated microgravity to relationships between extremely-low-frequency magnetic fields exposure and amyloid precursor protein processing. We are also using fluorescent pseudomonad pyoverdines in the development of sensors with applications ranging from research to healthcare. | |
