Khairi Reda
Computer Science·Early-career
Extend image-computable models of human texture perception to chart and map images, predicting which data properties the early-to-mid visual cortex retains for the viewer.
Sojin Shikano
Microbiology & Immunology
Characterize how strongly the TM4 peptide, a nanoparticle-forming copy of GPR15's fourth membrane-spanning segment, blocks GPR15L-triggered signaling through the GPR15 receptor in cell-based assays.
Michael Federle
Microbiology & Immunology
Identify the factor made by the quorum-regulated biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptococcus pyogenes, along with its biosynthetic intermediates, that suppresses inflammatory responses in macrophages.
John Finan
Biomedical Engineering·Early-career
Produce isogenic human induced pluripotent stem cell lines with and without the Piezo1 E756del variant, which keeps this stretch-activated calcium channel open longer.
Shilpa Sant
Biomedical Engineering
Test whether malignant calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite) microcalcifications promote breast tumor growth and bone-like traits through Na-Pi transporter signaling, using engineered ECM-mimic hydrogels carrying defined mineral types.
