Sudeep Kumar
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether delivering protein antigens to human FcγRI, an antibody-tail receptor on macrophages and dendritic cells, promotes cross-presentation, using an antigen-binding fragment of an anti-hFcγRI antibody that avoids engaging other Fc receptors.
Alexander Mongin
Neuroscience
Test whether LRRC8A-containing volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) control extracellular taurine and GABA, inhibitory brain chemicals, using microdialysis in mice with brain-specific LRRC8A deletion that develop lethal seizures.
Wenzheng Zhang
Physiology
Identify and validate the unique molecular signature of Aqp2+ progenitor cells — kidney cells expressing the water channel Aquaporin-2 plus V-ATPase subunits B1 and B2 — using fluorescent-protein-based cell sorting and single-cell RNA sequencing.
