This is a basic science research project aimed at understanding cellular determinants of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We use an animal model of AD -- mice carrying specific genes, which trigger development of amyloid plaques in the cerebral cortex. By the means of brain slice technology, electrophysiology (synaptic stimulation), and optical imaging (calcium and voltage imaging) we seek to determine if synaptic transmission in disease-free animals (Control) is any different from that occurring in the AD model animals developing amyloid plaques. The student will learn software for analysis of the optical imaging records (physiological), organization and presentation of measurements, some basic histology techniques for detecting plaques in saved brain sections, and if interested, the student may perform optical imaging of synaptically evoked depolarizations in brain slices working together with a postdoc. |

The project will engage an UG student in a mutual learning process of combining methods, tools, and substantive knowledge from fields like (bio)statistics and causal inference to answer questions like: (i). (Is there, and) How strong is the causal effect of (gaining/excess) body weight/mass on diabetes/blood glucose? (ii). Does the body weight->diabetes effect differ by race/ethnicity? (iii). Are there differential diabetes prevention benefits of weight loss among different racial/ethnic groups?
It proposes to share the faculty’s new insights into training methods for applied statistics/data analysis, recast in a way such that causality is imbued into the analytical process from the very beginning. It will utilize an existing dataset from a prior randomized intervention, along with other datasets the faculty has access to, and public data (e.g. ‘geo-spatial’). It proposes to introduce the UG student to new approaches to data science/analytics, using applied investigative work instead of lecturing-type expositions. |

Our research is on gene expression factors and mechanisms in the lethal human parasite and unicellular eukaryote Trypanosoma brucei (we work with a strain that is not infectious for humans). Trypanosomes use an obligatory trans splicing process that is not present in human cells to mature all pre-mRNAs. Trans splicing is carried out by the spliceosome and we are interested in discovering parasite-specific proteins that are important to this process. For example, we have characterized a unique kinase whose activity is indispensable for trans splicing. This project is to proteomically characterize the trypanosome U4/U5.U6 tri-snRNP and analyze all co-purified proteins and small nuclear RNAs. |

The primary focus of our research is to determine the mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens modulate host innate immune responses. Since innate immune responses play a crucial role in the clearance of infectious agents, it is natural that pathogens have developed strategies to inhibit the same. Our research aims to identify bacterial mechanisms that activate or inhibit innate immune activation. The summer research opportunity will focus on identifying virulence factors of two enteric pathogens, Enterohemorrhagic E. coli and Salmonella Typhimurium, that can activate or suppress a major innate immune pathway, the inflammasomes. The research strategy will involve working with bacterial mutants that lack specific virulence factors and determining their mode of action in innate immune cells such as macrophages. |

Exploring the mechanisms underlying depression and anxiety with a novel COP1 genetic mouse mode. Depression is often co-morbid with anxiety. Currently available antidepressant drugs generate unsatisfactory outcomes because the mechanisms of depression are poorly understood. COP1 is a risk factor for depression and anxiety, its protein is found in the brain areas associated with depression and anxiety. This study is to find whether COP1 deficit or overdose in the brain causes depression in a COP1 genetic mouse model.

Neurons of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) enable an individual to selectively attend to important stimuli while ignoring distractions. While prefrontal neurons are highly diverse in their responses to neuromodulators/neurotransmitters, their synaptic connectivity profiles, and their involvement in various fundamental cognitive processes, until recently it was not possible to isolate these cell types for recording and manipulation during behavior. This project will bring together 2-photon calcium imaging, optogenetic tools, and rodent cognitive testing to identify specialized roles for unique prefrontal neuron subtypes in performing tasks requiring selective attention. |

Following a stroke, a surge of ATP is released from compromised brain cells. This surge, in turn, triggers a cascade of events, including the activation of neurons and microglial purinergic receptor P2X4 (P2X4R). This activation facilitates rapid excitatory neurotransmission through the influx of cations. However, excessive activation of P2X4R can lead to the release of several pro-inflammatory cytokines during the initial stages of ischemic injury. Interestingly, the effects of acute activation stand in contrast to those observed with chronic inhibition or the absence of this receptor. In fact, prolonged inhibition or the lack of P2X4R might hinder the process of stroke recovery. Thus, acknowledging the dual role of P2X4R in different phases of ischemic injury, we are currently engaged in a systematic exploration of its potential as a therapeutic target for enhancing post-stroke recovery. In essence, our research endeavors revolve around deciphering the intricate role of P2X4R, recognizing its potential as a double-edged sword in stroke-induced processes. Through a comprehensive understanding of its temporal dynamics, we aim to pave the way for innovative therapeutic interventions that can tip the balance in favor of improved recovery outcomes. |

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) afflicts more than 37 million Americans. The current therapeutic options for this progressive disorder are limited; therefore, novel therapeutic strategies are urgently needed.

Individuals who experience traumatic injury to their knee cartilage are at high risk for rapid development of osteoarthritis that can lead to disability in as few as 10-15 years. Osteochondral Allografting is a clinical repair approach in which the damaged region is surgically removed and replaced with a plug of donor cartilage. This approach provides good short term outcomes but eventually all grafts fail and osteoarthritis can then set in. The grafts fail because they never fully integrate into the patients' own cartilage. The goal of this project is to understand the cellular mechanisms of cartilage healing, and to develop a clinically feasible approach to stimulate healing so that grafts integrate fully after implantation and are retained longer, perhaps even permanently. |
