CONGRATULATIONS to Hailey Brighton for successfully defending her dissertation entitled "Intravital imaging of melanoma in combination with molecular analysis reveals key changes in stromal ECM and tumor behavior in persistence against MEKi".

Vicki Bartsch received an F31 individual predoctoral NRSA entitled "Diacylglycerol kinase mediates receptor signaling by regulating lipid levels in somatosensory neurons". The research project is an investigation of a class of enzymes called diacylglycerol kinases that are found at high levels in peripheral pain-sensing neurons. Through this research, she hopes...

The Lalor Foundation’s Fellowship Program awards fellowships to institutions for basic postdoctoral research in mammalian reproductive biology as related to the regulation of fertility. Kelsey's primary objective in her grant is to elucidate whether and how ACKR3 regulates AM signaling and function during embryo implantation using cutting-edge in vitro and...

CONGRATULATIONS to Hung-Ching Hsia for successfully defending her dissertation entitled "Roles and Regulation of STAT3 in Innate Immunity". Hung-Ching is in the lab of Dr. Al Baldwin.

Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine have identified and isolated a protein that could play a vital role in regulating proper airway function. When that protein is low in volume or missing altogether, it can cause airway hyper-reactivity in asthma.

Chris Givens successfully defended his dissertation in his public defense on January 13th entitled "Use the Force: Filling the space between mechanosignaling and vascular function". CONGRATULATIONS Dr. Givens!!
