Alison Graettinger
Earth & Environmental Science
Determine at what depths silica-rich and basaltic magmas build up beneath Askja and how often magma is refilled, using plagioclase and clinopyroxene mineral analyses and gabbro xenoliths, chunks of deep rock carried up by eruptions.
Le Yu
Biomedical Engineering
Fabricate individual scaffold zones with distinct compositions and collagen fiber orientations by controlling biomimetic mineralization, reproducing the shift from unmineralized cartilage to heavily mineralized subchondral bone.
Sarah Dallas
Physiology
Determine how osteoblast movement, differentiation and fate are tied to collagen assembly and mineralization, using live-cell and intravital imaging of mice with GFP-tagged type I collagen and bone-lineage fluorescent reporters.
Thiagarajan Ganesh
Biomedical Engineering
Develop multiplexed confocal imaging models of osteocytes and their dendritic networks in loaded and unloaded mouse bone to predict how these cells respond to altered mechanical loads with aging.
Xiaobo Chen
Chemistry
Design and synthesize three series of triazine-crosslinked polyethyleneimine (TCPEI) porous polymers with very different distributions of amine nitrogen types.
