Tomoko Yamada
Neuroscience
Determine how functional domains of the transcription factor Etv1 couple recruitment of target genes to ME bodies with gene activation during cerebellar granule neuron maturation.
Andrew Geraci
Physics
Search for Yukawa-type deviations from Newtonian gravity at the 1-2 micrometer scale by measuring the displacement of a laser-trapped, laser-cooled nanosphere near a microfabricated silicon and gold source mass, accumulating about a million seconds of data.
Stephanie Eisenbarth
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether gut B cells must switch to IgG1 before switching to IgA to generate the highest-affinity IgA after oral immunization in mice, and map where this sequential switching occurs in mouse and human Peyer's patches using imaging and spatial transcriptomics.
Ann Ragin
Neuroscience
Test whether dopamine transporter levels in the striatum, measured by SPECT/CT, are reduced in people with HIV and major depression, and whether they correlate with symptom severity and MRI brain alterations.
Bin Jiang
Biomedical Engineering
Optimize the stem cell source of mitochondria, the storage formulation and the lipid-polymer-peptide surface coating so that engineered mitochondria are stable, scalable and practical to use during vascular surgery.
