Qi Lin Cao
Neuroscience
Determine how perivascular fibroblasts, support cells surrounding blood vessels, become activated and upregulate PI16 after cervical spinal cord injury, focusing on interferon-gamma signaling and fibrotic scar formation.
Marianna Baum
Public Health & Epidemiology
Track over time, in people with and without HIV and cocaine use in the MASH cohort, the epigenetic patterns (chemical marks on DNA) that differ between groups and predict the onset of cognitive frailty.
Madepalli Lakshmana
Neuroscience
Synthesize six sets of structurally varied TPI-132 analogs and select two with stronger activation of TFEB, a master switch for cellular recycling, plus lower toxicity and better brain penetration and solubility.
Francisco Fernandez-Lima
Chemistry
Develop mass spectrometry workflows that combine solution labeling, trapped ion mobility spectrometry (which separates ions by shape) and electron- or UV-based fragmentation to study biomolecular complexes near their native state.
Wim Cosyn
Physics·Early-career
Model high-energy electron scattering off the deuteron and helium using light-front quantum mechanics to separate nuclear structure from reaction dynamics.
