Gregory Alushin
Biophysics
Determine the structural mechanisms and cellular functions of catch bonds, protein contacts that strengthen under pulling force, in cytoskeletal crosslinking proteins and cell adhesion proteins implicated in force sensing.
Robert G Roeder
Biochemistry
Determine how PPARγ, C/EBP pioneer factors and the Mediator complex cooperate at fat-cell enhancers (DNA control regions) to set white and brown fat identity, using in vitro transcription, cross-linking mass spectrometry, multiomics and rapid protein degradation.
Amy Shyer
Biology·Early-career
Map where and when morphogens, developmental signals, are expressed in the forming skin follicle, and link that activity to gene expression profiles and multicellular architecture.
Junyue Cao
Neuroscience
Develop sciNext1000, a high-throughput, low-cost single-cell genomics method, and use it to profile four million cells from post-mortem human hippocampus to measure adult neurogenesis in aging and Alzheimer's disease.
Erin Norris
Neuroscience
Develop antibodies that recognize cleaved high molecular weight kininogen, a blood protein cut during contact system activation, as a blood test to identify Alzheimer's patients whose disease involves this pathway.
