Steven Baker
Microbiology & Immunology
Determine whether the drop in the influenza NP protein, a core viral genome-packaging protein, caused by non-canonical ISG15 (ncISG15) reflects faster protein turnover, RNA turnover, or both.
Hong-Long Ji
Medicine & Clinical Research
Rank the leading predictors of death in alcoholic and nonalcoholic ARDS patients across 1,204 clinical variables from NIH-funded clinical trials, combining random forest models with SHAP, a method that shows each variable's influence.
Karthik Hullahalli
Microbiology & Immunology·Early-career
Define how broadly nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs, approved antiviral drugs) reduce harmful inflammation across diverse bacterial infection settings in mice, beyond E. coli bloodstream infection.
Dali Liu
Biochemistry
Improve the stability and sensitivity of genetically encoded GABA sensors built from the bacterial regulator GabR, using the natural fluorescence of its bound PLP (a vitamin B6–derived cofactor) and FRET signals excited from PLP.
Thomas Gallagher
Microbiology & Immunology
Determine how mutations in the S2 fusion segment of the SARS-CoV-2 spike control the receptor-binding domain and its engagement with receptors, identifying specific variant substitutions that alter receptor reactivity and spike stability.
