Lisa Mangiamele
Neuroscience
Determine whether the roughly doubled number of lumbar spinal interneurons in foot-flagging frogs consists of distinct molecular and anatomical subtypes, using immunohistochemical markers and light sheet microscopy.
Michael Barresi
Biology
Track cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) as they migrate to and within the zebrafish forebrain during commissure formation, using live light-sheet microscopy.
Jessica Gersony
Plant Science & Agriculture
Quantify phloem function, the tree's sugar-transport system, in mature forest trees under control and drought conditions, using a forest rainfall-manipulation experiment and Raman spectroscopy to visualize sugars in plant tissue.
Susan Voss
Biomedical Engineering
Expand and update the online wideband acoustic immittance database, now over 9,900 subjects from 41 studies, to define normal measurements and show how specific middle-ear diseases change them.
