INTERESTS

Saltzman's research is motivated by the desire to create safer and more effective medical and surgical therapy. He focuses on tissue engineering and on creating better methods for drug delivery. His group has developed technology based on the use of bio-compatible polymeric materials for the controlled delivery of drugs, proteins, and genes. They have also developed new polymeric materials that influence the growth and assembly of tissues. However, even better than treating disease is to prevent disease from occurring in the first place. Saltzman's intent, therefore, is to develop the most economical, transportable, and accessible methods for disease prevention.

Saltzman is also committed to training a new generation of chemical and biomedical engineers. He believes in providing a stimulating and collaborative environment that promotes the free exchange of ideas and encourages creative blending of technology and modern biological science.

*Kelapa Hijau (Cocos nucifera L.)*
Tanaman termasuk familia Palmae. Dapat ditemui di pantai hampir di semua pulau.
Nama lain : Kerambil ijo (Jawa) Tanaman ini mengandung : glukosa, sakarosa, fruktosa, sukrosa mineral, asam amino
Kegunaan :	Keracunan: Minum air sebuah kelapa hijau sampai habis. Panas dalam: Air sebuah kelapa hijau campur dengan sebutir telur ayam mentah. Aduk sampai rata, lalu diminum. Menurunkan panas: Segelas air kelapa muda, 1 sendok madu, diaduk rata. Diminum 2x sehari, masing-masing satu gelas untuk dewasa, atau 1/2 gelas untuk anak di bawah lima tahun. Kencing batu: Cara I: Sebuah kelapa hijau dikupas sampai mendekati batoknya, lubangi atasnya sebesar 5 - 6 cm, bakar di atas api sampai mendidih. Setelah dingin baru diminum sekaligus. Lakukan 1x sehari. Cara II: Lubangi sebuah kelapa hijau, masukkan sebutir telur ayam, kocok supaya rata, minum langsung dari lubang kelapa itu. Kolera: Sebuah kelapa hijau, dipotong bagian atas dan bawahnya. Lubangi atasnya. Panaskan di atas api hingga airnya mendidih selama 10 menit. Setelah dingin diminum airnya 2x sehari. Rambut rontok: Sebuah kelapa hijau muda, potong bagian bawah dan atasnya. Atasnya beri lubang. Beri garam sedikit. Embunkan di luar rumah semalaman. Gunakan airnya untuk membasahi kulit kepala sambil dipijat-pijat. Lakukan sore hari sesudah mandi. Demam karena gigitan serangga: Minum air kelapa hijau sebanyak-banyaknya. Nyeri menjelang haid: Air kelapa dicampur dengan gula kelapa. Minum 2x sehari selama 3 hari berturut-turut menjelang haid. Alergi (karena cuaca): Air sebuah kelapa hijau diaduk dengan 1/4 gelas madu murni. Minum selama 3 hari berturut-turut. Sukar tidur: 5 potong akar pohon kelapa hijau (@ 4 cm), dicuci, dipotong-potong. Rebus dengan segelas air sampai airnya tinggal setengah. Saring, minum setengah cairan itu sebelum tidur. Cacing kremi: 1/4 kelapa hijau dan 1 wortel diparut, campur kedua bahan ini dengan segelas air, peras, dan saring. Sebaiknya diminum malam hari sebelum tidur. Mencegah uban: Sebuah kelapa hijau diparut, peras santannya. Beri garam biarkan semalam. Pakai untuk keramas. (mrd)
