Mark Goldberg
Neuroscience
Test whether REST, a protein that silences neural growth genes, limits motor recovery after stroke by selectively inactivating it in motor cortex neurons of transgenic mice using viral vectors.
Rahma Mungia
Medicine & Clinical Research
Describe how community dentists in the South Texas Oral Health Network adjust oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, documenting their protocols at delivery, initial and final adjustment visits for 60 patients.
Evelien Bunnik
Microbiology & Immunology
Identify which atypical B cell subsets are linked to protection against malaria, using spectral flow cytometry on malaria-experienced children matched for age and exposure but differing in immunity.
Sandeep Burma
Biochemistry
Determine the biological role of the newly found ability of 53BP1, a chromatin-reading DNA repair protein, to bind double-stranded DNA, and how this binding recruits partner proteins and sets which repair pathway a break uses.
Ellen Kraig
Medicine & Clinical Research
Compare drug levels and biological effects of rapamycin and everolimus in healthy adults aged 65–90. A 6-week adaptive dose-finding study will test daily and intermittent dosing in both sexes.
