Olivia Waters
As an ISCRM fellow, Olivia will investigate human placental cells’ tolerance to severe genomic stress. Compared to their parental human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) and placentas […] Read More
Sumin Hong
In the Zheng Lab, Sumin Hong is developing computational tools to analyze endothelial cell (EC) behavior in 3D brain microvessels following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Her work focuses on creating […] Read More
Aleah Rosner
As an ISCRMU Fellow, Aleah will investigate the relationship between neurons and microglia. In their resting state, microglia support neuronal health and network formation; however, it remains unclear whether they […] Read More
Alex Elbahr
With the support of the ISCRM Fellowship, Alex Elbahr will delineate the proteolytic processing of Nucleophosmin (NPM1) in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), employing recombinant NPM1 constructs and targeted protease assays. […] Read More
Sahana Subramanian
With funding from the ISCRM Undergraduate Fellowship, Sahana Subramanian will identify healthy and unhealthy endothelial cell flow conditions within a perfusable engineered heart tissue, hypothesizing that physiologically relevant shear stress […] Read More
Lily Nguyen
As an ISCRM Undergraduate Fellow, Lily Nguyen aims to address the role of two core signaling pathways (Notch and Hedgehog) in maintaining the structural integrity of the developing nervous system. […] Read More
Manith Atapattu
With ISCRM Fellowship funding, Manith will investigate the role of a microRNA called miR9-2, an important genetic regulator in brain development. Using a mouse model the Cherry Lab has generated, […] Read More
Willow Chernoske
With ISCRM fellowship funding, Willow Chernoske will develop and conduct a proof of concept for a CRISPR-Cas12a biotinylation system designed by the Escobar Lab to determine the epigenetic mechanisms that […] Read More
Hailemikael Yirdaw
As an ISCRM Fellow, Hailemikael Yirdaw will develop and test designed protein scaffolds that greatly enhance the sensitivity of CAR T cells to tumor antigens. Achieving a new generation of […] Read More
