Yang’s CAREER award helps advance work on cell-cell junctions, link to human health
Ruiguo Yang, assistant professor of mechanical and materials engineering, is using a $540,000 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career Development Program to explore how cell-cell bridges respond to strains of different magnitudes
A $540,000 NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program grant allows Ruiguo Yang, assistant professor of mechanical and materials engineering, to examine how cell-cell junctions respond to a wide range of strains, such as cardiac pulses, stretching of the skin and peristalsis in the gut.
