Labs here
Seth Noar
Public Health & Epidemiology
Synthesize experimental studies of alcohol warnings in a meta-analysis to estimate their effects on intentions to reduce drinking and related outcomes such as knowledge and risk beliefs.
Frank Conlon
Genetics
Test whether DDX3X, an X-linked RNA helicase that escapes X-inactivation, regulates sex-specific mRNA translation in heart muscle cells, using a conditional Ddx3x mouse allele.
Boyce Griffith
Mathematics & Statistics
Develop grid-adapted quadrature rules matched to composite B-spline coupling functions so that immersed boundary simulations transfer forces and velocities between fluid and structure more accurately in 2D and 3D.
Yuri Sebastiao
Public Health & Epidemiology
Emulate a randomized trial of elective induction of labor at 39 weeks versus expectant management using observational LABOR study data, estimating causal effects on cesarean delivery and on combined fetal and neonatal illness and death among low-risk first-time mothers in Zambia, Ghana and India.
Jiakun Chen
Neuroscience
Define how the phospholipid ligand for the Tre1/S1pr1 receptor is regulated in neurons versus astrocytes to direct astrocyte fine process outgrowth, using genetic, chemical and in vivo live-imaging approaches in zebrafish.
