Julio Aguirre-Ghiso
Medicine & Clinical Research
Map the transcriptional and chromatin programs controlled by ZFP281, a gene-regulating protein, in early disseminated breast cancer cells and in human DCIS samples, and test how they drive both dissemination and dormancy in mouse models.
Katherine Hackett
Medicine & Clinical Research·Early-career
Measure mobility, sociability and device-use patterns from one month of passive smartphone data, including GPS location habits and call activity, in well-characterized older adults at an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.
Claudia Gravekamp
Microbiology & Immunology
Characterize engineered Listeria carrying tetanus toxoid in brain tumors, measuring where the bacteria distribute throughout the body of live mice and testing their ability to infect and kill glioblastoma cells in culture.
John McAuliffe
Medicine & Clinical Research
Determine whether pancreatic cancer cells circulating in the blood or spread to organs like the liver express NR2F1, a gene-switching receptor linked to dormancy, in mice and in human patients.
Matthew Abramowitz
Medicine & Clinical Research
Measure how much muscle mitochondrial energy production is impaired in patients with severe, non-dialysis CKD, using CEST MRI to track phosphocreatine recovery before and after plantar flexion exercise.
