Dr. Gallant was recognized with an Outstanding Faculty Award by USF President Judy Genshaft.
“Quantitative assays for measuring cell adhesion and motility” by Nathan D. Gallant was published in Characterization of Biomaterials (Jaffe, Willis Hammond, Tolias, and Arinzeh, eds.).
The Gallant Lab was awarded a Pilot Project grant from the NIH National Cancer Institute Physical Sciences-Oncology Center on The Physical Microenvironment in Cancer Biology and Therapy to study tumor microenvironmental regulation of cell adhesion strength in collaboration with researchers at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center.
