"Regulation of von Willebrand Factor Function by Lipoproteins: Implications for the Thrombotic Microangiopathies and Sickle Cell Disease"

Abstract: Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is the largest protein in the blood, where it circulates as a series of disulfide-linked multimers. Its function is regulated by hydrodynamic flow.

Research Shows How Insulin, Zinc and Ph Can Block Harmful Protein Clumps Linked to Type 2 Diabetes

An estimated 462 million people around the world suffer from Type 2 diabetes, a chronic disease in which the body has problems using sugar as a fuel, leading to a buildup of sugar in the blood and chronic health issues.

New research led by Ayyalusamy Ramamoorthy, a professor at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the Florida State University-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, shows how zinc, pH levels and insulin work together to inhibit the buildup of protein clumps that contribute to this disease.

Professor to Showcase Groundbreaking NMR and Biomedical Research in France

In a world where international collaboration drives innovation, Ayyalusamy “Rams” Ramamoorthy, a leading professor of chemical and biomedical engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, is poised to make a significant impact abroad.

Selected by the Institute of Chemistry at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS CHIMIE), Ramamoorthy will present his pioneering research at top French laboratories, marking an exciting moment for scientific exchange and collaboration.

Launching a NASA-Funded Space Research and Additive Manufacturing Educational Initiative

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are embarking on a groundbreaking NASA-funded project to develop advanced manufacturing processes for space exploration.

This initiative aims to enhance space-age technologies and bolster representation among minority engineers in the high-tech space industry.

Environmental Micro- and Nanoplastics: Behavior, Fate, and (Maybe) a Better Model

This event sponsored by FAMU-FSU Engineering Department of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering.

Abstract: The prevalence of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in natural waters is driven by the large amount of plastic production and significant release of plastic waste (either intended or unintended) into the environment. Once in aquatic environments, MNP behavior will depend on the many complex surface interactions with other components in the water column.
