Michael King
Biomedical Engineering
Create Monte Carlo simulations of Ac-225 PSMA SPECT/CT imaging in targeted alpha therapy to jointly optimize collimator design and physics-based image reconstruction for tumor detection and quantification.
Dorothy Schafer
Neuroscience
Determine whether microglia or other macrophages account for the reduced inflammation and improved remyelination seen in mice lacking UNC93B1, the chaperone eTLRs need, in acute and immune-mediated demyelination models.
Mark Alkema
Neuroscience
Identify the neuronal targets and molecular pathways through which nitric oxide made by gut bacteria suppresses seizures in C. elegans unc-2/CaV2α gain-of-function mutants, a worm model of a migraine-linked calcium channel disorder.
Melissa Goulding
Public Health & Epidemiology·Early-career
Refine and co-develop BP-Link, a pediatric clinic program for follow-up blood pressure screening, by working with clinic providers, staff and parents through stakeholder-engaged implementation mapping.
Stephen Miller
Chemistry
Design and synthesize new luciferin substrates, the small molecules that firefly luciferase oxidizes to emit light, whose emission extends into the near infrared, where light penetrates animal tissue most effectively.
