Temporal prediction and social function: Modeling neural and behavioral correlates of making predictions in time across typically-developing and austistic adults
Due to the broad etiological heterogeneity of autistic phenotypes, unitary theories of autism often fall short of describing the entirety, or even the majority, of the autism spect...
Mechanisms and consequences of erythritol and erythronate excess in cardiometabolic disease
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) epidemics parallel a rise in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and heart failure (HF). Elevated serum e...
Breaking the Cycle of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder for High-Risk Perinatal Populations
Project Summary / Abstract The overall goal of this mentored career award is to establish my independent research career centered on improving perinatal health outcomes for the mos...
Regulation of Muscle Stem Cells by Netrin Signaling
Skeletal muscle regenerates following injury, with muscle stem cells (MuSCs) the source of new myofibers. MuSCs are quiescent during homeostasis. Quiescence is an actively maintain...
Personalizing Outcomes of Nephrolithiasis in Youth (PONY)
PROJECT SUMMARY - OVERALL Kidney stone disease (nephrolithiasis) is characterized by painful, recurrent symptomatic events and is rising disproportionately in youth. Structural and...
Addressing Food Insecurity in the Health Care Setting to Promote Health Equity
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Social Determinants of Health (SDoH), or the environment and conditions in which one lives, can greatly impact one’s health and quality of life. In the Whi...
Epigenetic mechanisms controlling single-stranded DNA lesion sensitivity and mutagenesis
Project Summary: Our long-term objective is to define the epigenetic mechanisms that ensure accurate genome maintenance, and to exploit these findings to improve human health. Sing...
Pathogenic mechanisms of TMJ osteophyte formation
Abstract The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) controls the movement of the jaw but is susceptible to acquired diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). Osteophytes, referred to as fibr...
30th Annual Midwest Microbial Pathogenesis Conference (MMPC)
PROJECT SUMMARY The recent COVID-19 pandemic, alongside the rise and recurrence of infectious diseases, has underscored the vital role of microbial science in addressing global pub...
Development of deep learning methods to optimize patient personalized treatment for craniosynostosis
Project Summary/Abstract Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. The growth at the cranial plates normally separated by the fused suture is arreste...
Defining critical MECP2 cis-regulatory elements towards identifying genetic candidates for male-biased autism
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutations in the X-chromosome gene MECP2 are both associated with severe syndromic neurodevelopmental disorders, indi...
Collaborative Research: RUI: Phenotypic Plasticity and the Origin of Species in Threespine Stickleback Fish
This research will investigate the mode of adaptation of threespine stickleback fish when juveniles from the same species develop in distinct environments. When organisms encounter...
Postdoctoral Fellowship: EAR-PF: Influence of Land Cover on the Isotopic Signature of Mercury in Surface- and Subsoils of the Conterminous United States
People have released large amounts of mercury through things like mining, using fossils fuels, and burning waste. Mercury is a problem because it is toxic to humans and other anima...
Participatory Engagement for City Communities Against NCD Risk in Bangladesh and Nepal (The PECAN Project)
There is a high burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in South Asian cities, driven by key 'modifiable' risk exposures across the life course. Adults in Nepal and Ba...
Collaborative Research: RUI: Phenotypic Plasticity and the Origin of Species in Threespine Stickleback Fish
This research will investigate the mode of adaptation of threespine stickleback fish when juveniles from the same species develop in distinct environments. When organisms encounter...
Postdoctoral Fellowship: PRFB: The evolutionary consequences of sensory novelty: Genomic and phenotypic responses to the origin of heat sensing in vipers
This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024, Integrative Research Investigating the Rules of Life Governing Interactions Between Genomes, Envir...
RUI: Quantum Kinetics of Neutrinos: Leveraging the Universe at the Interface of Neutrino and Nuclear Astrophysics
Neutrinos are the ghostly, shape-shifting enigmas of the Standard Model of particle physics. Trillions of neutrinos from the Sun pass through our bodies every second of the day. Th...
