Larry Lemanski

Larry F. Lemanski is 'Distinguished Research Professor' and Director of the Biomedical Institute for Regenerative Research (BIRR) at Texas A&M University-Commerce [2] He is also a Regents' Professor of the Texas A & M System, the highest level recognition for Texas A & M System's faculties.[3] He received a B.S. from University of Wisconsin, Platteville and then both M.S. and Ph.D. from Arizona State University, Tempe. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and worked there with Prof. Lee D. Peachey. He joined UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco in 1975 as served as an Assistant Professor of Anatomy (1975–77); he moved to University of Wisconsin, Madison and worked there as Assistant Professor (1977–79) and Associate Professor (1979–81). He was appointed as full Professor in 1981. He was Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Texas A&M University-Commerce during 2009–2012.[4]

Research

His main research interests concern a study of myofibrillogenesis and heart inductive processes in developing embryonic hearts at the cell and molecular levels. He has studied cardiac mutant axolotls, transgenic mice, and induced pluripotent adult stem cells. His goals have been to elucidate the sequence of events and mechanism(s) of myofibrillogenesis and to explain how inductive interactions direct heart differentiation at the cellular and gene levels. He is known for discovering unique and specific ribonucleic acids (RNAs) that have the capacity to promote cardiac myofibrillogenesis in non-muscle cells. He is pursuing the mechanism of this exciting and intriguing phenomenon and we are exploring inducing heart muscle repair in hearts damaged from disease processes such as myocardial infarctions (heart attacks).

gollark: Then you use the known position of the satellites and distances to each to work out where you are.
gollark: GPS operates on multilateration. It works out the distance to each satellite based on ~~its computed orbital position and~~ differences in time to receive the signal from each satellite.
gollark: No it isn't. That would entirely break it.
gollark: I doubt it. If the clock drifted much your location would be wrong.
gollark: You use the GPS receiver to keep a regular RTC accurate.
