Reza Shahbazi
Biomedical Engineering
Engineer biomimetic lipid nanoparticles that incorporate exosome components shown to interact specifically with long-term hematopoietic stem cells, the self-renewing bone marrow cells that produce all blood cell types.
Renzhi Han
Pharmacology
Develop an improved triple-vector system in next-generation myotropic adeno-associated virus capsids to reconstitute full-length dystrophin by protein trans-splicing across skeletal, diaphragm, and heart muscle in models of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Martin Joseph Richer
Microbiology & Immunology
Identify the extrinsic mechanisms, signals from outside T cells, through which a high-salt diet impairs CD8 T-cell responses to acute viral infection in mice.
Briana Sprague
Public Health & Epidemiology·Early-career
Collect primary data from Black adults receiving care at federally qualified health centers to learn their preferences and needs for managing stress.
Lei Yang
Biology
Determine how the human lncRNA MCRL1 and its partner protein β-Catenin switch on heart genes and switch off blood genes during mesoderm specification. The work uses MCRL1-knockout human embryonic stem cells differentiated toward heart cells.
