Yamin Li
Pharmacology
Expand the chemical diversity of sulfonium lipids — carriers that use a charged sulfur group instead of the usual amine — by adding new head, linker and tail building blocks, and relate these structures to self-assembly, mRNA delivery and biocompatibility.
David Auerbach
Physiology
Test whether rabbits with a CRISPR-made Kcnh2 pore mutation reproduce the brain and heart problems of LQT2 patients with epilepsy, including QT prolongation, spontaneous seizures and seizure-related sudden death.
Xin Jie Chen
Biology
Test in yeast whether specific mitochondrial stresses cause severe protein-handling damage to the vacuole, the yeast lysosome. Use genetic screens to find genes that suppress this signaling and may extend lifespan.
Hesong Liu
Neuroscience·Early-career
Record the real-time activity of vCA1-projecting dorsal raphe serotonin neurons, and serotonin release in ventral CA1, during memory learning and recall in mice, using fiber photometry.
Ma-Li Wong
Neuroscience
Characterize how loss of PHF21B, an epigenetic regulator, impairs social recognition memory in mice, using the three-chamber social interaction test and the five-trial social memory test.
