The Dean Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I have often heard the wine referred to as cat piss--not in a bad way--due to its high acidity. 632794[/snapback] Never heard that. But, I guess I can understand it.
Kiwi Bills fan Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Welcome newbie Kiwi. Now, please send us a case of your finest Sauvingon Blanc. Thank You 632783[/snapback] I'm actually quite partial to the local Riesling and Chardonnays. (The local beer is also spot on.)

And if you're ever in the neighborhood I would be more than happy to provide you with all lobster, foie gras and Champagne you want.

Ramius Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Grad student at Florida St. in Biomedical Engineering. I play around with stem cells and try to turn them into cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) Then i jam then into a big ass NMR magnet and learn about their metabolic properties.

Do you have an advanced degree?
Ramius Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 That actually sounds interesting to me Ramius. Do you have an advanced degree? 632906[/snapback] i'm enrolled in a PhD program, which i should have in a couple of years. Right now, i essentially have all the requirements for a masters, so i kinda can be considered to have a masters. (Our program officially doesnt award the masters unless you leave. If you stay, its right to the PhD.) Anything specific you want to know about ym research?

What does one discover when one does an NMR test on a stem cell? I'm a physicist, so to me an NMR is something you do on hyrdogen so you can say "Ooooh, look...fine structure!"

Basically I'm the shift supervisor and also issue all the different forecasts, warnings etc. Do you go to Florida State? We have several forecasters who graduated from FSU at my office including the boss. They have a pretty good meteorology department from what I hear. I am a science "dork" too and am fascinated by your line of work. Do you get to publish a lot of research papers? I think it's great you will be going for your Phd, that takes a lot of dedication and smarts. Good luck to you.

Good luck to you. 632931[/snapback] Well, we are attempting to determine a metabolic profile for the stem cells (human mesenchymal stem cells) as they differentiate into cardiomyocytes. We're using a perfusion culture system (media flows over the cells similar to blood flow, its not just sitting there in a culture dish) and the cells are grown in a 3-D matrix as opposed to a normal culture plate/flask. So we developed this new system and are using 31-P NMR to monitor the levels of phosphate metabolites. Based on the levels, we are attempting to determine how active the cells are as they progress along the differentiation pathway. So tom, we use NMR to acquire phosphate peaks and determine the metabolite levels. As for papers, still working on research. The system is new and theres not a lot out there on using NMR in relation to cardiomyocytes, so we at the front line of the field of research. With any luck, i should have a paper by the summer. ( i have 1 other paper from my work as an undergrad, and i should be a co-author on another paper when the kid in my old lab finally publishes one.)
