Education Research·Early-career
Use design-based research to iteratively develop and evaluate peer reflection groups that build professional skills including iterative improvement, lifelong learning, GenAI use and psychological safety, with minimal instructor time.
Clarissa Henry
Biology
Determine motor neuron- and muscle-specific roles for Dol-P-Man, a sugar building block made with the help of Dpm3, and dystroglycan (DG) at the neuromuscular junction, using cell-type-specific zebrafish genetic models.
Nicholas A Giudice
