2010 research highlights
Anna Berglind, a senior majoring in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Chemistry at North Carolina Central University
Validated a set of small molecules that may serve as radio-ligands for PET imaging to report neuronal activity.
Meti Gebregiorgis, a senior at the University of Maryland at College Park majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology
Showed Interferon response genes are essential for microenvironment-induced metastatic breast cancer and that Tubacin can inhibit this metastatic behavior in vitro.
Sebastian Gomez, a senior at the University of Maryland at College Park majoring in computer science
Developed a general methodology for predicting the effectiveness of cancer treatments based on genomic markers.
Aurian García-González. a junior at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, majoring in Cellular Molecular Biology
Studied patterns of evolution of Sko1 and MSN2/4, downstream regulators of the HOG-1 activated osmotic stress response pathway in eight Ascomycota yeasts.
Peter Cruz-Gordillo, a junior at Duke University majoring in neuroscience and biochemistry
Utilized HDACi and other chromatin modulators to induce expression of drug metabolizing enzyme genes in liver cell lines with the goal in mind of creating a more efficient and cost-effective human liver model for drug toxicity screening.
Isaac Joseph, a senior at MIT majoring in computer science and minoring in biology
Studied the relationship between structure and activity in transcription factor binding compounds.
Christopher R. Robles, a senior at the University of California, Santa Cruz, majoring in biomolecular engineering
Improved experimental and analytical approaches for using high throughput sequencing to define the transcriptomes of diverse bacteria.
