Many photosynthetic organisms receive nitrogen by forming symbiotic relationships with bacteria that transform inert nitrogen gas into natural fertilizer. Millions of years ago, the alga Epithemia…
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by failure of the bone marrow to produce sufficient red blood cells. This condition results from defects in ribosomes—cellular…
Many photosynthetic organisms receive nitrogen by forming symbiotic relationships with bacteria that transform inert nitrogen gas into bioavailable nitrogen. The single-celled diatom alga Epithemia…
Neutrophils are innate immune cells crucial for host defense against pathogens. Patients with a low number of neutrophils have recurrent infections which they fail to clear. Neutrophils eliminate…
Seagrass beds and their native herbivore fish ( Sarpa salpa) are foundational for the Mediterranean ecosystem. However, ocean warming is facilitating new herbivorous fish ( Siganus rivulatus) to…
Ocean warming, invasive species and marine toxins threaten the ecological resilience of the Mediterranean Sea. The relationship between native herbivore fish Sarpa salpa andseagrass (P. oceanica) beds…
Air pollution is the biggest single environmental cause of premature death worldwide, accounting for up to one million premature deaths on the African continent alone. Some of the main sources of…
Over the past few years, the potential of machine learning methods that can generate text and images has expanded significantly. This project seeks to explore the implications of these advanced…
The project aims to understand the functional role of heterochromatin regulation during early embryogenesis. Using a combination of epigenome editing tools and microscopy, the student will investigate…
I am analyzing a large dataset of intracranial electrophysiological recordings in humans, who performed a variety of mathematical cognitive tasks, from basic number identification to mental…
