Brittney Browning
Medicine & Clinical Research·Early-career
Test whether six weeks of 125 mg/day oleoylethanolamide (OEA), an endocannabinoid-like lipid, lowers peripheral inflammation markers IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and the bacterial molecule LPS in young adults with alcohol use disorder.
Sarah Miller
Medicine & Clinical Research
Test whether RESP-FIT, a home program of respiratory muscle strength training with a portable device and mobile health support, reduces shortness of breath in rural adults with COPD, using a randomized controlled trial against enhanced usual care.
Takako Makita
Genetics
Test whether the potassium channel Kir5.1, encoded by Kcnj16, changes the chance of hearing loss in Ednrb-deficient mice by affecting hair cell excitability and auditory neuron maturation.
James M Otis
Neuroscience
Track single posterior paraventricular thalamus neurons that project to the nucleus accumbens across heroin self-administration, extinction, and reinstatement in mice, using two-photon calcium imaging.
Chris Gregory
Medicine & Clinical Research
Compare the effects of combined aerobic exercise and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a noninvasive brain stimulation method, versus either treatment alone on depressive symptoms in people with post-stroke depression.
