Congratulations to Andrew Resnick, PhD who has been awarded an R15 research grant by the National Institutes of Health. The 3-year, $445,499 project is titled Bending Primary Cilia: evidence for a structure-function relationship.
Dr. Resnick, who is a member of the Center for Gene Regulation in Health and Disease (GRHD) at Cleveland State University, and his team will perform research to help answer the question, “How do cells sense their environment?” Evidence has shown that cells sense and respond to mechanical forces using a variety of sensors. The primary cilium is hypothesized to be a mechanical sensor that senses fluid flow, with the proposed mechanism being ciliary bending. The research is expected to lead to new information related to how cilium bending contributes to cell signaling pathways, and will emphasize exposing undergraduate and graduate students to hands-on research.
