Karen M Haas
Microbiology & Immunology
Characterize tissue-specific B cell expansion, isotype switching, and clonal diversity after gut colonization by Klebsiella pneumoniae in mice, using distinct bacterial strains and mutants as probes.
Kenneth Kishida
Neuroscience
Test whether the background signal in fast scan cyclic voltammetry recordings, an electrochemical method for measuring neurotransmitters, can be quantitatively characterized, mathematically modeled and subtracted in living-brain experiments.
Bumsoo Ahn
Physiology·Early-career
Test whether unacylated ghrelin (UnAG) combined with endurance exercise boosts mitochondrial energy production and lowers oxidative stress in skeletal muscle of older mice, compared with either treatment alone.
Samuel Centanni
Neuroscience
Test whether stress-driven activity in the insula-BNST pathway predicts later binge and aversion-resistant ethanol drinking, following mouse models of stress and binge drinking over time.
Merideth A. Addicott
Neuroscience
Compare gray matter volume, white matter integrity, cerebral blood flow and cognitive performance among ex-smokers who quit, ex-smokers who switched to e-cigarettes, current smokers and never-smokers.
