Mohammed Abouzaid
Mathematics & Statistics
Train problem-specific neural networks and reinforcement-learning agents to search for constructions in the symplectic ball-packing problem, which asks how efficiently balls fit into a region while preserving signed surface areas.
Danny Chou
Chemistry
Define the molecular mechanism of insulin receptor antagonism and partial agonism, starting from an antagonistic insulin derivative the team discovered, and gather structural insights into how such molecules engage the receptor.
Shipra Arya
Medicine & Clinical Research
Test whether greater market competition among surgeons is associated with higher rates of guideline-discordant small abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and tibial interventions for claudication, using linked Vascular Quality Initiative–Medicare and Veterans Health Administration data.
Andres Cardenas
Public Health & Epidemiology
Test whether a 12-month in-home HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter intervention slows epigenetic and proteomic aging clocks in the nasal lining and blood of older former smokers with eosinophilic COPD, using samples from a randomized sham-controlled trial.
Edgar G. Engleman
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether macrophages carrying the erythropoietin receptor EPOR are the primary gatekeepers permitting tumors to colonize the liver, using liver-tropic orthotopic mouse models with multiplexed microscopy, flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing.
