Rebecca Krukowski
Public Health & Epidemiology
Test the effect of five lifestyle components on 12-month weight loss in 608 adults taking second-generation anti-obesity medications, using a 2x2x2x2x2 factorial trial. The components are an education session, phone coaching, and digital diet, activity and weight self-monitoring.

Computer Science·Early-career
Design graph neural networks tailored to peptides, including amino acid-aware message passing and graph transformers, and combine them with pretrained protein language models to merge structural and evolutionary information.
Lyndsey Muehling
Microbiology & Immunology·Early-career
Identify pre-existing immune signatures that predict respiratory viral infection severity, using samples from a completed human model of repeated rhinovirus challenge together with a cohort of well-characterized allergic asthma patients.
Nathan Swami
Biomedical Engineering
Generate pancreatic cancer cells spanning a range of hybrid epithelial–mesenchymal states by co-culturing them with cancer-associated fibroblasts in a perfusable system under shear stress and hypoxia, validated by immunofluorescence.
Patrick Jackson
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether variation in Rev-RRE activity is selected during HIV sexual transmission, by measuring activity in viral quasispecies from longitudinal samples spanning acute to chronic infection in people who acquired HIV through different transmission routes.
