Kristin Hamre
Neuroscience
Test whether ethanol exposure in the first 10 postnatal days, when the mouse hippocampus is most sensitive, leads to earlier Alzheimer's-like behavior in 5xFAD mice, using tasks such as the Morris water maze.
Gabor J Tigyi
Pharmacology
Optimize small-molecule antagonists of the LPAR5 receptor from existing screening hits, using computational scaffold hopping and a pharmacophore model that maps the chemical features needed for potent, selective binding.
Kenneth Ataga
Medicine & Clinical Research
Build a machine learning model that predicts chronic kidney disease progression in adults with sickle cell disease, using data from a prospective, multicenter study.
Kafait U Malik
Pharmacology
Determine how the brain's arachidonic acid/ALOX15 pathway in the paraventricular nucleus contributes to angiotensin II-induced hypertension in female and male mice, using adenovirus gene tools and radiotelemetry.
