Jeonghoon Lee
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether Pkn1, a serine/threonine kinase of Chlamydia trachomatis, controls recruitment of cell-division components to the septum, using an anhydrotetracycline-inducible, histidine-tagged Pkn1 and CRISPR interference knockdown of pkn1.
Steven Yeh
Medicine & Clinical Research
Compare how often keratitis, conjunctivitis and uveitis occur in clade I versus clade II mpox infection, and identify risk factors for eye disease to guide public health interventions.
Nicholas Woods
Medicine & Clinical Research
Test whether Tazemetostat, which blocks the gene-silencing complex PRC2, prevents chemotherapy-induced shifts in tumor subtype, using organoids grown from tumors of Black and White PDAC patients.
Bin Duan
Biomedical Engineering
Identify how cells are damaged during embedded 3D bioprinting, both inside the printing nozzle and at the cell level, using mechanics modeling and experiments.
Pooneh Bagher
Physiology
Determine whether hemoglobin alpha in artery-lining endothelial cells becomes glycated in a mouse model of diabetes, including at sites within its putative eNOS-binding domain.
