Benhur Lee
Microbiology & Immunology
Define which human cell types the bat-derived Yunnan henipaviruses 1 and 2 infect, using primary cells and organoids, and correlate infection with levels of ephrin-A proteins — the cell-surface molecules these viruses use to enter, unlike the ephrin-B2/B3 used by Nipah virus.
Yufeng Shen
Genetics
Benchmark, improve and develop machine-learning methods that predict the effects of missense variants, DNA changes that swap a protein's amino acid, in congenital heart disease genomic data.
Xiaotao Zhang
Medicine & Clinical Research
Estimate recruitment, retention and diet adherence in adults with MASLD and F2–F3 fibrosis, verifying adherence with plasma pipecolic acid, a blood marker of bean intake, within a randomized crossover trial.
Yizhou Dong
Pharmacology
Design and synthesize blood-brain barrier-crossing conjugates that link brain-penetrant small molecules to antisense oligonucleotides, and test how they move through barrier cells using transcytosis and mechanistic assays.
Daniela Sia
Medicine & Clinical Research
Build a biobank of 50 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patient-derived organoids with matched immune and stromal cells from the same patients, and test how faithfully these cultures reproduce the molecular programs of the original tumors.
