Labs here
Erik Henricson
Biomedical Engineering
Test whether movement performance, community mobility and patient-reported independence and well-being reflect one shared mobility process, using integrated computational models.
Bethany Cummings
Physiology
Compare liver and islet responses to injected glucagon in obese mice and after dietary or bariatric-surgery weight loss, to test whether α-cell signaling shifts from the liver to insulin secretion.
Izumi Maezawa
Neuroscience
Map lipid and metabolite changes in single microglia near amyloid plaques, blood vessels and lipid droplet-rich ACSL1-positive cells across human Alzheimer's progression using MALDI mass spectrometry imaging with multiplexed immunofluorescence.
Fernando Fierro
Physiology
Uncover how spermine synthase (SMS) deficiency impairs bone mineralization, testing whether excess spermidine blocks hypusination, the chemical activation of the protein eIF5A, and disrupts mitochondrial release of calcium phosphate.
Olga Chechneva
Neuroscience
Identify which neurons receive material from satellite oligodendroglia during brain maturation, using spatial transcriptomics to profile single SOL-neuron nuclear pairs in the developing mouse cortex.
