Qingjie Li
Physiology
Test whether transplanting a mouse's own banked youthful gut microbiome into mature adult mice delays physiological and molecular aging, combining heart, liver and cognitive function tests with organ transcriptomics and microbiome profiling.
Lauren Richardson
Biomedical Engineering
Adapt a multi-organ feto-maternal interface chip with a temperature-controlled flow system that perfuses 39°C medium on the maternal side, mimicking heat carried by maternal blood.
Jeong Hoon Jang
Mathematics & Statistics
Estimate how much bisphosphonate use affects jaw osteonecrosis risk directly and how much works through dental care, using new causal mediation methods applied to Texas Medicare and SEER-Medicare records.
Werner Braun
Biochemistry
Add 3D protein structures predicted by AlphaFold-2, a structure-prediction program, to AllergenAI, a machine learning allergen predictor. Model all proteins in the SDAP 2.0, COMPARE and AlgPred databases to improve the tool's ability to distinguish allergens from non-allergens.
Bindi Naik-Mathuria
Public Health & Epidemiology
Develop a youth-informed video series on conflict resolution, avoiding retaliation, and safe social media posting, co-created by youth ambassadors, violence interrupters and content experts in Houston and Memphis, and refined through community feedback.
