[Students] FW: S.T.E.M.

[Cathy Haynsworth]

The Trio Programs of Texas A&M University-Commerce and the UT-Tyler
Health Science Center are excited to promote the S.T.E.M. Initiative by
presenting Dr. Pierre Neuenschwander.

 

  

 

Ever thought of a career in Bio- Chemistry, Bio- Technology, or
Bio-Medical Engineering?

If so, clear your calendar and make plans to attend a presentation by
Dr. Neuenschwander, Professor University of Texas Health Science Center
- Tyler and learn of the many careers available in the science and
technology fields. Below is a brief bio of Dr. Neuenschwanders'
accomplishments and a snapshot of what to expect during his
presentation.  We look forward to learning with you on Wednesday, March
2, 2011 at 12:30pm in the SRSC Conference Room A

 

BACKGROUND:

Dr. Neuenschwander received his BS degree in Chemistry from R.I.T. in
1985, his Ph.D. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Stony Brook
University in New York in 1990, and spent 10 yrs in the Cardiovascular
Biology research program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation in
Oklahoma City as a postdoctoral fellow and junior faculty member before
joining the faculty at UTHSCT in 2001. He is a fellow of the American
Heart Association and has authored more than 35 scientific papers.

 

MESSAGE:

Blood clotting is necessary for maintaining life. However, many
life-threatening conditions can result if clotting is not regulated
effectively (heart attacks, strokes and respiratory failure, for
example). The long-term goal of my research is to rigorously describe
the molecular mechanisms involved in regulating blood coagulation in
these various scenarios. A better understanding of these processes will
allow us to rationally design more-effective drugs and/or treatments. To
do this, my lab and others at UTHSCT are using state-of-the-art
technologies to perform studies that span most of the broad sciences
from biology to chemistry to physics. The combination of these
disciplines (biochemistry, biotechnology and biomedical engineering) has
proven to be extremely valuable in performing this research. The
constant flow of new technologies that results from this requires a
constant influx of knowledgeable and trained people to develop,
disseminate and use them. This presentation will highlight some of these
technologies in an effort to convince the audience that careers in the
sciences are not only practical, but extremely fulfilling when viewed in
the context of playing a vital role in the overall process of scientific
investigation and the end goal of enabling us all to live longer and
healthier lives.
