“Pathogenesis and pathology are the areas of research I find myself most interested in. I’m interested in researching the cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease, especially a disease that disproportionately affects underrepresented populations. I have a broad range of diseases I’d be open to researching!”

“I am passionate about developing new tools or models for visualizing and analyzing biological data. I am interested in understanding the pathogenesis of cancer-causing viruses through various NGS technologies.”

“I’m interested in doing research at the intersection of where chemistry and biology meet and using discovery to improve the lives and health of others.”

“I am generally interested in developing biomaterials, particularly in the context of tissue engineering. This includes hydrogel tissue scaffolds, microfluidic devices, etc. I am also interested in the chemistry of polymeric materials used for these applications.”

“During graduate school, I would like to work on a cancer biology problem that is heavily translational and multi-disciplinary in nature.

I am really interested in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and I would like to study tumor-promoting/suppressing mechanisms promoted due to cell crosstalk in the TME. Alternatively, I am also interested in studying different molecular mechanisms that result in cancer initiation and metastasis. Ultimately, I would like to utilize my research findings to develop potential therapeutic interventions.”

“I’m interested in toxicology research as it relates to the type of particulates or pollutants in the environment and how these health-threatening chemicals affect and alter the biology of humans through their environments. I would be open to studying pathology of disease from these chemicals and ways to mitigate, prevent, or even treat these chemicals from causing disease in at-risk communities on the fence line of industries that impact the environment and subsequent public health.”

“My current research interests are in cancer research, specifically how the microenvironment affects tumor development and progression. I am interested in analyzing how gut microbiota composition can impact disease formation and progression, as well as how genetic factors and mutations can impact it as well.”

“I am interested in the development and study of gene therapies and gene-editing technologies. I am most interested in studying potential effects of gene therapy in genetic diseases such as CF or in their technological development. I am also interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms by which gene editing technologies work and how they can be utilized to further their development and use in creating models and treating disease.”

“I am interested in the application and development of bioinformatic tools for high-throughput genomic data analysis to answer questions in functional genomics. I am particularly interested in multi-omic data integration to understand epigenomic and transcriptomic mechanisms responsible for cell fate decisions. I enjoy taking an interdisciplinary approach to my projects, working in both the wet and dry lab when possible.”

“I am interested in virus-host interactions, viral pathogenesis, and understanding how host immunity controls or contributes to pathogenesis. I am particularly interested in working with arboviruses.”
