Joseph Miano
Physiology
Define the coronary artery disease that develops in mice lacking Lmod1 only in vascular smooth muscle cells, using mouse genetics, spatial gene-activity profiling and immuno-electron microscopy of artery tissue.
Krishnan Dhandapani
Neuroscience
Test whether reducing or inhibiting aromatase, the brain enzyme that makes 17β-estradiol locally, worsens cognitive decline, and whether pulsed photobiomodulation or estradiol prevents both the enzyme's decline and memory deficits in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease.
Yuyan Bao
Computer Science
Develop verification methodologies for reasoning about function values — functions handled as data — in industrial programming languages, using first-order assertions and auxiliary logical variables suited to automated reasoning.
Ming Ming Tan
Computer Science
Design message-efficient distributed algorithms for building and verifying approximate breadth-first search trees and single-source shortest path trees, assuming nodes start with partial knowledge of nearby network topology.
Erin Taylor
Physiology
Test whether extra visceral fat worsens lupus and hypertension through harmful immune cells in fat, by surgically or pharmacologically depleting fat or its immune cells in female NZBWF1 mice.
