Michael Bround
Physiology·Early-career
Determine whether LETM1 drives proton/calcium exchange in heart mitochondria, using mice in which Letm1 is deleted from the heart to study heart function, mitochondrial function and how charged particles cross the mitochondrial membrane.
Katerina Cermakova
Biochemistry
Determine how chromatin and transcription state influence RNA export of highly transcribed genes, by rapidly manipulating the IDR-domain interaction in living cells and measuring nascent RNA and genomic outcomes.
Carolina Jorgez
Genetics
Define why male mice lacking Wnt4 in the gubernaculum, the tissue that guides testis descent, are infertile, separating the effects of testis position, the genetic defect and hormone imbalance in both testes.
Lindsay Celada
Microbiology & Immunology
Determine the molecular pathways that control the T cell origin and maturation of CD8 intraepithelial T lymphocytes (CD8 IELs) in the lung, including the gene network found enriched in sarcoidosis that inhibits their maturation.
Eveline Barbieri
Medicine & Clinical Research
Develop a genetically engineered mouse model in which the epigenetic regulator CHAF1A can be switched on in neural crest, and test whether it increases neuroblastoma incidence, metastasis and shortens survival.
