Research Interests

Dr. Reichert's research interests include biosensors, protein mediated cell adhesion, and wound healing. In general, my research concerns the behavior of proteins and cells at surfaces. These phenomena are central to many aspects of biology and medicine, for example thrombus formation, inflammation, complement activation, immune recognition, wound healing, cell-cell recognition, and cell adhesion to artificial and natural substrates. Proteins and cells at surfaces are also important in many technological applications, such as separation and purification systems, biorecognition-based diagnostics, indwelling sensors, tissue engineering, and soon-to-be realized biologically integrated devices. More specifically, I have focused on protein adsorption, protein-ligand binding, and protein-mediated cellular adhesion at artificial surfaces from the perspective of developing new diagnostics and improving biomaterials.
