Eleonora Dondossola
Medicine & Clinical Research
Define the cell types, gene activity states and real-time behavior of the ccRCC bone metastasis environment in mice, combining multiphoton microscopy in living animals and removed tissue with single-cell RNA sequencing.
Wantong Yao
Medicine & Clinical Research
Define the molecular pathways through which a newly identified stress-response regulator helps pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells survive nutrient shortage, low oxygen and oxidative stress, and evade the immune system.
Dalnim Cho
Public Health & Epidemiology
Test the feasibility of a multi-level health behavior program for truck drivers delivered with a trucking company, measuring recruitment, retention, adherence, acceptability and fidelity.
Amer Najjar
Medicine & Clinical Research
Profile CD24 glycosylation patterns in osteosarcoma cells to identify tumor-specific sugar-modified sites (epitopes) that a therapeutic antibody could selectively target.
Ziyi Li
Mathematics & Statistics
Develop a statistical method based on bivariate P-splines that uses existing 2D spatial transcriptomics data to choose the optimal number and placement of tissue sections, making 3D experiments cost-effective.
