“Studying the non-cell autonomous signals that influence dendrite regeneration in Drosophila melanogaster.”
Rostislav “Rosty” Brichko
“Investigating dendrite regeneration in the Drosophila melanogaster nervous system. Studying the mechanisms underlying dendrite regeneration, how aging affects regeneration, and differences in dendrite regeneration in the central and peripheral nervous systems.”
Sara Elizabeth Espinoza
“Understanding the mechanisms enhancer-promoter specificity in the context of mammalian development.”
Cameron Geller
“Investigating the potential of a synthetic sphingolipid molecule called 893 to treat prostate cancer. Focus on determining whether cancer cells can adapt to the 893 compound, and if so, what changes occur within the cells that contribute to their decreased sensitivity to the compound.”
Sydney Prange
“The study of how to harness dendrite regeneration to combat neurodegeneration.”
Laurence Seabrook
“Developing tools to force cells into chemically modifying and degrading disease-causing proteins on-command.”
Johnny Vertiz
“Studying the mechanisms behind mitotic arrest. Investigating how a CDC-20 protein is involved in regulating cell cycle progression. By studying cell cycle progression I believe that we can further understand the mechanisms behind cancer and develop better therapeutics.”
Ryan Weber
“The study of the impact of genetic variation on gene expression in mice at single cell resolution.”
Yinyin Zhuang
“Focusing on nuclear mechanics and its regulation on ribosome biogenesis in cancer and aging diseases, dissecting lamina molecular structure via label-retention expansion microscopy and development of next-generation expansion microscopy.”
