Organisms Under Pressure
How do organisms respond under pressure?
Projects in this theme examine biological response across scales, from molecular pathways and proteomics to immune response, thermal stress, infection, and health outcomes.
Schistosomiasis, anemia, and immune response
Collaborative work examining how infection relates to human health outcomes, immune response, and disease burden.

Oyster proteomics and temperature response
Proteomic profiling of developmental and temperature-influenced physiological responses in a bivalve mollusc.
Proteomics · temperature stress · development
Thermal response of schistosomiasis transmission
Collaborative modeling work examining how temperature and seasonal fluctuation shape snail behavior, parasite dynamics, and transmission.
Thermal ecology · infectious disease · modeling
Treatment-resistant cancer pathways
Earlier biomedical research that built wet lab experience in molecular pathways, treatment resistance, Western blotting, DNA extraction, and bacterial culture.
