Aprill Dawson
Medicine & Clinical Research
Determine whether a health educator-led smart speaker program is feasible and acceptable for adults aged 50 and older with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1c ≥8%), measuring recruitment, retention and interview feedback.
Matthew Durand
Physiology
Establish whether the muscle metaboreflex, which raises cardiovascular drive when metabolites accumulate in working muscle, is impaired in the paretic leg of chronic stroke survivors, and relate it to voluntary muscle activation and metabolite levels.
Lan Zhu
Biophysics
Determine the structures of non-Class B GPCRs bound to receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs) using cryo-EM, crystallography, and molecular dynamics, to learn how RAMPs control surface localization and ligand recognition.
Jenifer Coburn
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether the interaction between the Borrelia burgdorferi surface protein P66 and the macrophage receptor SIRPα weakens innate and adaptive immunity, comparing p66-deficient and gene-restored bacteria in mice over six infection time points.
Mitchell Dyer
Medicine & Clinical Research·Early-career
Test whether fibrinogen controls the entry of inflammatory cells into a developing clot in post-traumatic and acute DVT, by lowering circulating fibrinogen with siRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles in rodent and swine thrombosis models.
