Jorge Llibre-Guerra
Medicine & Clinical Research
Identify clinical, genetic and proteomic predictors of ARIA risk in patients receiving amyloid-targeted treatments, using the DIAN-TU trial cohort and the real-world Memory Diagnostic Clinic cohort.
Robert Campbell
Medicine & Clinical Research
Determine how the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), the channel bringing calcium into mitochondria, controls platelet activation, procoagulant platelet formation and platelet-neutrophil aggregates, including signaling through the enzyme Syk.
Monika Bambouskova
Microbiology & Immunology
Define the identity, gene activity programs and developmental path of an unusual IgD-producing B cell group (PRDM1⁺IGHD⁺) in MKD patients, using CITE-seq, B cell receptor sequencing and high-dimensional flow cytometry.
Jennie Kwon
Medicine & Clinical Research
Identify clinical risk factors for community-associated antibiotic-resistant infections, using a database of patients with urinary tract and bloodstream infections from community and healthcare settings.
Jason Weber
Biochemistry
Test whether the ARF tumor suppressor traps the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 in the nucleolus, a compartment inside the nucleus. This trapping would stop ADAR1 from holding back type I interferon alarm signaling in TNBC cells that lack working p53.
