Yohei Kirino
Biochemistry
Determine how RNase Kappa, a newly found enzyme that makes cyclic phosphate-containing RNAs, and two cP-RNA-stabilizing proteins control cP-RNA levels, using cP-RNA-seq.
Lucia R. Languino
Biology
Test whether NgR2 carried in small extracellular vesicles causes tumor growth, neuroendocrine differentiation, and metastasis after transfer to other cells, using SILAC-based proteomics.
Nancy Philp
Neuroscience
Test whether the retinal pigment epithelium keeps some glucose for its own biosynthetic and phagocytic activities, using RPE-iΔGlut1 mice that lack the glucose transporter GLUT1 in the RPE.
Chiara Scopa
Neuroscience
Generate intrabodies, small antibodies that work inside cells, that bind and neutralize the RNA::DNA hybrids previously found in cerebral organoid models of sporadic and familial Alzheimer's disease.
Erin Seifert
Physiology
Determine the fate of fatty acid fuel in skeletal muscle lacking the mitochondrial phosphate carrier PiC and in intact liver and heart, using fatty acid tracers and measurement of beta-oxidation intermediates in tissues and serum.
