Hyeong-Moo Shin
Public Health & Epidemiology
Measure lithium in urine samples banked during pregnancy from MARBLES cohort women whose children received a final diagnostic outcome, and test whether higher prenatal lithium exposure is associated with child autism spectrum disorder.
Alan Farhan
Physics
Test fluctuation theorems by building the time-integrated dissipation function from measured magnetic microstates and comparing forward and reverse trajectory probabilities in thermally active artificial spin ice.
Samuel Urlacher
Social Science
Measure total energy expenditure in children aged 3–10 using doubly labeled water, a method that tracks harmless isotope-tagged water to calculate daily calorie use.
Ramon Lavado
Ecology & Evolution
Quantify how the aryl hydrocarbon receptor deletion in adapted Gulf killifish changes the rate and products of phase I and phase II biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene, a model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.
Jung-Hyun Min
Biochemistry
Determine how the yeast damage sensor Rad4-Rad23-Rad33 (equivalent to human XPC-RAD23B-CETN2) and the unwinding machine TFIIH together open DNA around a lesion, using cryo-electron microscopy and crosslinking/mass spectrometry.
