Soubhik Kumar
Physics
Use effective field theory to classify the non-Gaussian signatures, unusual statistical patterns, left by heavy beyond-Standard-Model particles produced during inflation, and build templates for searches in cosmic microwave background (CMB) surveys.
Qiaobing Xu
Biomedical Engineering
Covalently attach a ligand that binds the target protein onto an E3 ligase-related protein, creating a two-part degrader that avoids the PROTAC hook effect.
Marcus Weera
Neuroscience·Early-career
Test whether Avoider rats, which persistently avoid a predator odor-paired context, show blunted activation of lateral habenula-projecting lateral hypothalamus neurons after an aversive dose of alcohol, measured by Fos immunohistochemistry and in vivo fiber photometry.
Giuseppina Tesco
Neuroscience
Test whether the ABCA7 p.Ala1527Gly variant lowers ABCA7 protein levels and causes loss of function in iPSC-derived human excitatory neurons, measuring Aβ42/40 ratios, a readout of harmful amyloid-β.
Sameer R Sonkusale
Biomedical Engineering
Build an osmotic battery that makes power from salt differences, using cation- and anion-selective membranes made of two-dimensional nanomaterials and ion-infused aerogels in a dry gelatin design, targeting hundreds of microwatts at under 10 grams.
