Total bilirubin, a routinely measured laboratory marker that traditionally is known as a marker of liver dysfunction, has emerging protective associations with oxidative stress, metabolic health, and cardiometabolic risk. However, the relationship between short-term changes in total bilirubin levels and cardiometabolic health parameters remains incompletely characterized in real-world clinical populations.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between changes in body weight and (...)

The goal of this project is to create, manipulate and control the atomic defects in van der Waals materials, such as Vb- centers in hexagonal boron nitride. These defects form effective two-level systems (qubit) and will be used as nanoscale quantum sensors for magnetic and electric field. The student will prepare the van der Waals material and heterostructure, and use quantum control protocols to identify and benchmark the qubits. As a stretch goal, new sensing protocols will be developed and tested (...)

Due to lifelong combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in persons living with HIV, there has been a decline in mother-to-child transmission of HIV. However, this has led to a growing population of infants that are exposed to HIV but not infected (iHEU). These infants have a higher mortality risk and display altered immunological profile. In addition, iHEUs exhibit impaired growth compared to infants not exposed to HIV (iHU). The mechanisms underlying these phenomena are not well understood. Postnatally, (...)

Living with multiple chronic conditions or multimorbidity (MM) requires adjustments across multiple life domains, including maintaining quality of life (QOL), and protecting mental health. Among older adults in the U.S., for whom MM is now the norm, depressive symptoms and poor QOL confer increased risk for morbidity and mortality. Hispanic/Latino older adults are more likely to sustain early onset of MM, report poorer self-rated health, and experience significant difficulties accessing health care (...)

Antimicrobial resistance is a pressing public health issue and information is lacking to inform human health risk assessment (e.g., when/where is it safe/unsafe to swim in impacted water?). This project focuses on the impact of wastewater effluent on riverine concentrations of genetic elements encoding for antibiotic resistance and antibiotic resistant fecal indicator organisms and pathogens. The full project description is available here: https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncer_abstracts/index.cfm/fuseaction/display.abstractDetail/abstract_id/11487/report/0, (...)
