Weihua Guan
Biomedical Engineering·Early-career
Develop a single-tube multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay that copies several respiratory pathogen targets at once with balanced amplification and minimal cross-reactivity.
Jay Lennon
Microbiology & Immunology
Test competing models of how phage genomes become entrapped in Bacillus subtilis spores, using CRISPR editing of viral auxiliary sporulation genes and single-cell assays to assess suppression of the lytic cycle and chromosome segregation.
Feng Guo
Biomedical Engineering
Integrate digital acoustofluidics, which uses sound to move droplets held in oil, with AI-guided closed-loop image feedback to generate droplets of controlled volume, transport them in parallel, and fuse and mix them on demand.
Thomas Snaddon
Chemistry
Develop enantioselective Lewis base-catalyzed reactions, using catalysts that donate an electron pair, to build fluorinated C(sp3) stereogenic centers while controlling which mirror-image form is made.
Sydney Trask
Neuroscience
Compare UCS deflation, presenting weaker versions of a feared stimulus, with standard extinction in renewal, spontaneous recovery and reinstatement tests, predicting that only deflation reduces all three forms of fear relapse.
