Michael Stambaugh
Earth & Environmental Science
Develop improved fire regime models that combine tree-ring fire scar datasets with the Physical Chemistry Fire Frequency Model (PC2FM), which estimates fire frequency from climate and physical-chemistry principles.
Arthur Suits
Chemistry
Develop uniform-flow photoacoustic spectroscopy (UF-PAS), which senses molecules through sound waves produced when they absorb infrared light, as a broadly applicable probe of reactive intermediates in cold supersonic flows.
Margaret J Lange
Microbiology & Immunology
Identify new RNA aptamers, short structured nucleic acids selected for tight binding, that recognize additional HIV-1 capsid assembly forms, building toward a panel covering the lattice, hexamer and pentamer states.
Xunlei Kang
Medicine & Clinical Research
Determine how DPP4, a cell-surface enzyme, controls the location, survival and self-renewal of human AML stem cells, using colony-forming assays and mice carrying human AML cells.
Ai-Ling Lin
Neuroscience
Identify how the severity of gut dysbiosis tracks over time with regional amyloid, tau and neurodegeneration markers and cognition in Alzheimer's patients and healthy controls, using PET, 7 Tesla MRI, gut microbiome sequencing and cognitive testing.
