Dario Rodrigues
Biomedical Engineering
Develop Halo, an external phased array of 72 microwave antennas at 915 MHz that focuses heating to 40-44°C deep within the brain and remains compatible with MRI.
Osamah Saeedi
Medicine & Clinical Research
Confirm with transgenic mouse models that adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) signals specifically report retinal ganglion cell bodies and vascular pericytes, validating the imaging against gold-standard histology.
Johanna Holm
Microbiology & Immunology
Uncover how the vaginal microbiome helps BV clear on its own, using genome-wide association analysis of metagenome-assembled genomes (bacterial genomes rebuilt from mixed DNA) and a new statistical method.
Cristiana Cairo
Microbiology & Immunology
Evaluate the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of Vδ2 T cells at birth and in early life in relation to age, focusing on a PD1-high subset found in cord blood but absent in adults, using CITE-seq and spectral flow cytometry.
Peiying Liu
Biomedical Engineering
Develop normalized cerebrovascular reactivity (nCVR) MRI, which uses oxygen-breathing responses to correct CO2-breathing responses. Test whether it is more reproducible and better at detecting reduced reactivity than standard BOLD-based CVR.
