Brosi Lab, Emory University
The Structure and Function of Biodiversity
We study how the structure of biological communities—including both biodiversity and ecological network structure—affects ecological functioning, and how it is affected by environmental change.
Much of our work uses plant-pollinator interactions as a model system.
We are actively engaged in translating our work and synthesizing other science in the service of environmental policy and management.
Vijay Kumar Lab, Penn Engineering
VIJAY KUMAR is the Nemirovsky Family Dean of Penn Engineering with appointments in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Computer and Information Science, and Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.
Huang Lab, Broad Institute
The Huang Lab develops and applies cutting-edge statistical genetics and computational techniques to understand the genetic architecture of human complex disorders, especially autoimmune and psychiatric disorders. We are especially interested in novel methods to leverage cross-ancestry genomics data for insights into the disease pathogenesis. Huang Lab is a member of the Analytic and Translational Genetics Unit at the Massachusetts General Hospital, the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute, and Harvard Medical School. Huang lab works closely with the International Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Consortium (IIBDGC) and the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC).
Oupicky Lab, University of Nebraska Medical Center
The Oupicky Lab focuses on exploring polymers and nanoparticles for delivery of drugs and nucleic acids.
The Tennyson Lab, Clemson University
Research in the Tennyson lab harnesses redox chemistry to address unsolved challenges in medicine and environmental remediation. Their highly-interdisciplinary research projects lie at the interface of classical organometallic catalysis with biomaterials, oxidative stress, and sustainable building materials.
Pantophlet Laboratory at Simon Fraser University
The Pantophlet Lab aims to contribute to the field of vaccine immunology through the development of novel vaccine antigens and vaccination strategies. They probe how epitopes dictate antibody recognition and are investigating also how epitope modifications affect the elicitation of antibody responses of desired specificity. As an extension of this work, they are exploring how to engineer and formulate immunogens to elicit neutralizing antibodies to conserved sites on viruses such as HIV-1 and influenza.
Wechsler-Reya Lab at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute
The Wechsler-Reya lab studies the signals that control cell growth and differentiation in the nervous system and how these signals are dysregulated in brain tumors.
Alemseged Lab, Paleoanthropology, University of Chicago
Professor Zeray Alemseged is a paleoanthropologist in the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago. His research interests include human evolution and the exploration of the factors that shaped the evolution of humans and extinct ancestral species.
Reissner Lab, UNC Chapel Hill
The Reissner lab studies the effects of cocaine self-administration on physiological and morphological properties of astrocytes and neuron-astrocyte communication.
