New Science Publication
MSTP student (E-14) Sanjay Srivatsan’s research on massively multiplex chemical transcriptomics at single cell resolution has been published in December’s Science publication. This article explores the use of sci-Plex, which uses ‘nuclear hashing’ to quantify global transcriptional responses to thousands of independent perturbations at single-cell resolution. Their results reveal substantial intercellular heterogeneity in response to specific compounds,…

New HIV Research Publications
E-13 student Nicole Naiman has two recent publications relating to her research on HIV. The first, published in August 2019, appears in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, and addresses mother-to-child HIV transmission. This publication reviews an association between plasma antibody binding to the gp41 ectodomain in breastfeeding mothers to increased odds of transmission to the…
New Frontiers in Neuroscience Publication
E-13 MSTP student David Caldwell’s publication in Frontiers in Neuroscience looks into electrocorticographic brain computer interfaces, which offer opportunities to restore brain function in individuals suffering from neurological damage. This article reviews ECoG electrodes, the physics and physiology of DES, and the use of electrical stimulation of the brain for the clinical treatment of disorders…
New DNA Repair Publication
E-13 MSTP student Mark Ragheb latest publication in DNA Repair explores the role of Mfd in replication-transcription conflicts in bacteria. DNA replication and transcription, a remarkable undertaking, must occur in a timely and accurate fashion in all organisms. This publication explores the conflicts in this process. Conflicts can lead to various detrimental outcomes, including replication…
