Dr. Srivatsan, students, present nanotechnology research
Dr. Malathi Srivatsan, Molecular Biology, and her students recently participated in the WiNS Center Nanotechnology and Healthcare Education and Training Program held at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Dr. Srivatsan presented her research in a talk, "Nanomaterials  and neuroregeneration," and graduate student Seth Schirmer presented his research results on "Spinal cord injury and regeneration: use of carbon nanotubes as a growth promoting substratum." Dr. Srivatsan  also conducted a training workshop, "Fluorescence microscopy to study cellular interaction with nanomaterials,"  for graduate students in bioengineering. ASU graduate students Madhumita Paul and Seth Schirmer assisted her in conducting this workshop. This meeting provided an opportunity for Dr. Srivatsan and her students to share results from research performed in her laboratory at ASU with other participants from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, as well as with students from Tennessee and Oklahoma.
