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

Ashi Jain

Ashi Jain will use ISCRM fellowship funding to investigate a hypothesis that two splice variants of the transcription factors Meis1 and Pbx3 have different gene expression patterns in different cell […] Read More

Lauren D’Amico

An ISCRM fellowship will allow Lauren D’Amico to study sarcomeric mutations that cause alterations to tension-time index (TTI). Understanding how these variations are linked to disruption in the force-generation capacity […] Read More

Leona Binyam-Temelso

ISCRM fellowship funding will enable Leona Binyam-Temelso to identify the minimal set of gene edits possible to generate human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes that will not produce arrhythmias once transplanted […] Read More

Rohda Yase

Building on preliminary data showing that the gene efemp1 is dispensable for the first phase of spine mineralization—Rohda Yase will study the 2nd phase of skeletal development by determining the role […] Read More
