April M. Weissmiller
Biochemistry
Map which genes are bound and regulated by N-MYC and its partner proteins WDR5 and G9a in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells, using genetic, genomic, and chemical-biology approaches to see how combined inhibition reshapes N-MYC-driven transcription.
James Robertson
Neuroscience
Create new transgenic Drosophila lines that tag the flies' own neuropeptides with fluorescent markers such as mScarlett3, using tissue-specific CRISPR, to confirm that neuropeptides are sorted into dense core vesicles at the mRNA level.
