Collaborative Research: NSF-BSF: Interbacterial and environmental signaling impacts on Vibrio coralliilyticus pathogenesis of coral
Reef-building corals provide habitats and nutrients for >25% of marine fish and invertebrates. Not only are coral reefs a critical ecosystem, but they also provide local areas w...
The benefits, harms and costs of surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma in people with cirrhosis: synthesis of observational and diagnostic test accuracy data and cost–utility analysis
RESEARCH QUESTION What are the benefits, harms and costs of different surveillance regimens (compared with each other and no surveillance) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in peo...
Mechanisms of disordered citrate and oxalate excretion in nephrolithiasis
Project Abstract Kidney stones are a major cause of morbidity and account for $11 billion in health care spending in the U.S. Low urine citrate and high urine oxalate both increase...
Type I interferon Impacts Treatment Response in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common multisystem inflammatory condition. Delay in effective treatment results in increased morbidity and mortality, and a heavy economic burden. Cu...
Determining the role of germline CDH1 variants in gastric cancer outcome disparities in Hispanic/Latino patients
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The molecular basis of gastric cancer (GC) health disparities that Hispanic/Latino (Hs/L) patients face is an understudied and unmet public health issue. C...
FASEB SRC: The Post-transcriptional Control of Gene Expression Conference: Mechanisms of RNA Decay
PROJECT SUMMARY The understanding that RNA degradation is critical for gene expression traces back to 1959 when Pardee, Jacob and Monod demonstrated in a historical paper that ther...
Novel Methods to Assess Interfragmentary Motion: Quantifying a Critical Factor in Fracture Healing
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT We seek to understand how variations in surgical fixation and rehabilitation protocols for distal femur fractures impact the mechanical environment at the...

Collaborative Research: MIM: The impact of the fungal microbiome in metal tolerance and soil biogeochemical transformations
Some metals are essential nutrients for life, while some are non-essential or even harmful to living organisms. Fungi and bacteria are microorganisms that often live in a close ass...
Diagnosing Astrophysical Plasmas Using Laser-Driven Nucleosynthesis in Far-From-Equilibrium Plasmas
This project will study fusion reactions in a hot dense plasma by using ultraintense lasers. All elements of regular matter around us stem from fusing together light elements, star...
CAREER: Elucidating the Interfacial Structure of Complex Solvents for Chemical Transformations
The availability of high-performing solvents that function as absorbents, co-catalysts, and electrolytes is a critical and unmet need for advanced technologies such as integrated c...
EFRI E3P: Hydrogenolysis for upcycling of polyesters and mixed plastics
Using plastics has tremendous benefits for humanity; however, the lifetime of plastic products is long, creating an enormous accumulation of plastic wastes. Upcycling of plastics i...
Collaborative Research: Resolving the production and fate of nitrogenous metabolites in the surface ocean
Photosynthetic microbes provide food for nearly all other life in the ocean. Their metabolism produces organic molecules called metabolites that can leak out of cells, be intention...
Mechanisms of mechanical regulation of stem cell fate
The emergent field of mechanobiology has established that cell behaviours are influenced by the mechanical properties of the surrounding environment. A key consequence of this infl...
