Angela Aggrey I am very interested in the role of platelets in cerebral vascular inflammation. I specifically look at the protective and deleterious roles platelets might have in Experimental Cerebral Malaria pathogenesis. Home town: Kumasi, Ghana Mentor: Craig Morrell |

Clinically bladder cancer incidence
rate is higher in males but females are approximately twice as likely as males
to die from the disease, suggesting estrogen might inhibit bladder cancer
initiation while promoting bladder cancer progression. Estrogen action can be
mediated by two estrogen receptors, ERa and ERb, which share similar domain
structures. I am interested in knowing whether ERa and ERb can associate with
estrogen to affect bladder cancer initiation and progression using the ERa and
ERb knockout mouse model.

Jeffrey Malik My research focuses on elucidating
the role(s) of erythropoietin (Epo) during primitive erythropoiesis.
Specifically, I am examining the function of Epo in the proliferation,
differentiation, and survival of primitive erythroblasts during development.
Furthermore, I am exploring the Jak2-Stat5 contribution to EpoR signaling with
mutant EpoR knock-in mouse models.
