Douglas Gies
Astronomy & Astrophysics
Measure mass-loss rates of massive stars by comparing CHARA Array interferometric observations, which combine several telescopes for fine detail, at different wavelengths using the new SPICA visible-light instrument.
Hang Shi
Physiology
Test whether deleting or overexpressing Uhmk1, a gene that supports nerve-fiber growth, in mouse sympathetic neurons changes nerve supply to fat, brown/beige fat heat production and energy expenditure during cold exposure.
Eric Krause
Neuroscience
Determine how HPA stress-axis activity reduces weight-loss quality, including muscle loss, during treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide, using a CRF-neutralizing antibody (Anti-CRF) in mice.
Angela Mabb
Neuroscience
Determine whether tagging of the deubiquitinase OTUD4 with ubiquitin by the enzyme RNF216 makes OTUD4 less stable, and whether the OTUD4 mutation found in Gordon Holmes syndrome makes the protein more stable.
Peijian He
Medicine & Clinical Research
Test whether losing frataxin, a mitochondrial iron-handling protein, causes ferroptosis (iron-driven cell death) and liver injury in MASLD mouse models, and whether restoring frataxin prevents this damage.
