Abstract: "Syk and Src family kinases (SFK) inhibitors interfere with signaling from GPVI, α2β1, αIIbβ3, and GPIb-IX-V to reduce thrombotic risk or induce bleeding episodes. Collagen-mediated clustering of platelet GPVI results in phosphorylation of SFKs such as Lyn and Fyn, and active Lyn is constitutively bound to GPVI to allow rapid signaling. During clotting under […]

The Center for Engineering MechanoBiology (CEMB) welcomes Dr. García for a Distinguished Lecture on June 14th at 3pm. A reception will follow the seminar in the Levine Lobby.
Abstract: Polymer-infiltrated nanoparticle films (PINFs) are a new class of polymer nanocomposites that overcome many of the challenges in manufacturing highly loaded nanocomposite films (PNCFs). PINFs have a wide range of applications as functional coatings and membranes and have excellent mechanical properties, including high stiffness, hardness, scratch and wear resistance. Fracture toughness is another critical […]
Launched in May 2021, the Future Leaders in Mechanobiology is a monthly seminar series featuring up-and-coming leaders in mechanobiology–PhD students and postdocs from a wide range of fields, backgrounds, and institutions. By providing an international stage to share one’s work and opportunities to interact with researchers at all career stages, we aim to create an inclusive and […]
Join the Department of Bioengineering for a Juneteenth Address delivered by Dr. Michelle Johnson, Associate Professor in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and in Bioengineering and Director of the Rehabilitation Robotics Lab. The address will be followed by a Q&A. This hybrid event will be held live on campus and on Zoom and is open to […]
The promise of multi-robot systems is that they can complete tasks quicker and more efficiently than a single robot. However, such performance gains are only realized if robots can communicate with each other and coordinate their actions. As on-board autonomy advances, robots are increasingly being deployed in environments without existing wireless infrastructure and must rely […]
