This Health Research Program opportunity is with Dr. Sarvenaz Sarabipour, Department of Center for Cell Analysis & Modeling, Cell Biology, Center for Vascular Biology, Biomedical engineering, Molecular Biology & Biophysics.
Project Description: This project will involve building computational models of membrane protein (receptor) interactions in human cells. We will study trafficking, phosphorylation, and signaling of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) and their ligands in blood vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells. Cellular signaling mediated by these receptors plays key roles in vascular and tissue functions such as wound healing, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and vasculogenesis. Our models will be detailed in biophysical/biochemical interactions between receptors and ligands. Our simulations will shed new light on mechanisms of receptor signaling in vasculature.
