Xiaohong Lu
Neuroscience
Determine whether SARS-CoV-2 infection drives chronic loss of smell and cognitive deficits in humanized ACE2 transgenic mice, in a model that produces lasting brain pathology without the virus invading the brain.
Hyung Nam
Neuroscience
Determine how chronic alcohol lowers neurogranin, a synaptic protein that tunes glutamate signaling, in the mouse medial prefrontal cortex, and test tolerance in mice with mPFC-specific Ng knockout or overexpression.
Hongxue Shi
Medicine & Clinical Research·Early-career
Test whether loss of TIM4, a macrophage receptor that captures apoptotic cells, impairs clearance of dying liver cells and speeds NASH fibrosis, by deleting or restoring macrophage TIM4 in NASH mice.
David Morgens
Microbiology & Immunology·Early-career
Identify mutations in KSHV's DNA replication proteins that block late gene expression but still allow viral DNA copying, using a high-throughput method for making and testing many viral mutants.
Katarzyna Zwolinska
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether the direction of microtubule-based transport of the HPV genome switches during cell division, and whether the motor proteins dynein and Kif11 drive it, using inhibitor and live-cell tracking experiments in infected keratinocytes.
