Mark Siemens
Physics
Develop DeepSpiral, a super-resolution microscope that combines multiphoton excitation with single-molecule localization microscopy to image molecules at the nanometer scale up to 300 microns deep in living brain tissue.
Emily Melnick
Public Health & Epidemiology·Early-career
Test whether limited neighborhood food access at age 2 predicts less responsive parental feeding practices and less nutritious foods served at ages 3–5, using geocoded data from the ECHO and Care cohorts.
Michelle Knowles
Biophysics
Map in space and time where phospholipase D (PLD), a lipid-modifying enzyme, is present and where its product phosphatidic acid (PA) forms during exosome secretion, using quantitative fluorescence microscopy in live cells.
Andrei Kutateladze
Chemistry
Develop photoassisted reaction cascades triggered by excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) that build complex, alkaloid-like heterocycles in few steps.
