【 摘 要 】

Funding from this project was used to develop several ???mini-cores??? that contained shared equipment that could be used by researchers at Marshall University. Equipment purchased during this project included: a fluorescencent microplate reader, FTIR system, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and DNA/RNA analyzer. Other deliverables included the funding of several graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral fellows and two research assistant professors. Projects supported by this funding included studies performed at the whole animal, organ, cellular and nano level. Several different types of researchers were supported including undergraduates, graduates, postdoctoral fellows and research assistant professors. The main outcomes of this work was the development of new types of nanoparticles that could be used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and sepsis. Additional efforts to develop these projects are ongoing.
