We have determined that cationic nanoparticle binding is increased in the presence of serum proteins, and binding occurs to a scavenger receptor on the cell surface. In comparison, the cellular binding of anionic nanoparticles is inhibited by serum proteins and the nanoparticle binds to native protein receptors.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECandace is a 3rd year Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry (Research Advisor: Christine Payne).\u0026nbsp; She obtained her B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemistry from WesternWashingtonUniversity.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp align=\u0022center\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThree-dimensional Silicon Micromachining for Hemispherical Polysilicon Micro-shell Resonators with Capacitive Transducers\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp align=\u0022center\u0022\u003EXin Gao\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp; This presentation will discuss the fabrication, rudimentary testing results, and applications of the polysilicon micro-shell resonator integrated with capacitive transducers.\u0026nbsp; The capacitive electrodes are conveniently formed by doping.\u0026nbsp; The entire device structure is designed with a goal of self-alignment so that it can be used as a high-performance hemispherical resonator gyroscope.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EXin is in his final year of the Ph.D. program in theSchoolofElectricaland Computer Engineering (Research Advisor: Farrokh Ayazi).\u0026nbsp; He received both his B.S. and M.S. in EE from Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Candace will present on \u0022 Nanoparticle Surface Charge Directs the Cellular Binding of Nanoparticle-Protein Complexes\u0022 and Xin will present on \u0022Three-dimensional Silicon Micromachining for Hemispherical Polysilicon Micro-shell Resonators with Capaciti"}],"uid":"27744","created_gmt":"2012-11-30 11:41:59","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:01:26","author":"La Toya Evans","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2012-12-11T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2012-12-11T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2012-12-11T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2012-12-11 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2012-12-11 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2012-12-11 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"groups":[{"id":"1271","name":"NanoTECH"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"15169","name":"Candace Fleischer"},{"id":"41411","name":"Institute of Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"4315","name":"nano@tech"},{"id":"107","name":"Nanotechnology"},{"id":"51911","name":"Xin Gao"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDavid Gottfried\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:dsgottfried@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Edsgottfried@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
