Michael Stryker
Neuroscience
Record large populations of neurons with multi-electrode arrays in the retina and visual cortex of awake, behaving mice while they view naturalistic visual flow and simpler artificial patterns.
Bryan Greenhouse
Microbiology & Immunology·Early-career
Determine how a person's existing anti-PfEMP1 antibodies and the var genes a parasite first switches on together shape the outcome of new Plasmodium falciparum infections, using plasma, RNA sequencing and clinical records from a Ugandan cohort.
Helen Willsey
Neuroscience·Early-career
Determine how SYNGAP1 gene dosage affects cilia formation and Hedgehog signaling in human neural progenitor cells before synapses form, and how this changes their proliferation and differentiation.
Toshimichi Yamada
Biomedical Engineering
Engineer synthetic organizer cells, engineered cells that release signaling molecules from set positions, producing WNT3A, DKK1, FGF, CER, NOGGIN, BMP4 or SHH to control axis formation in brain organoids.
Sasha Gorrell
Psychology
Engage youth, caregivers and clinician stakeholders during a preparatory phase to adapt a single-session consultation protocol for families waiting for specialty eating disorder treatment.
