Rodolfo Corona Rodriguez University of California Berkeley Berkeley, CA Using Multi-view 3D Reconstruction for Understanding Descriptions of 2D Images Language provides a natural interface for humans to interact with robotic systems. Because robots are embodied in the world, they must be able to understand the links between language and their visual perception for this communication […]

2022 SACNAS Graduate Student Oral Presentation Award (Omar Lujano Olazaba)
Omar Lujano Olazaba San Diego State and University of California San Diego San Diego, CA The role of chemotherapy-induced fibrosis in the maintenance of tumor initiatingcells Ovarian cancer patients initially respond to cytotoxic chemotherapy but most relapse with chemoresistant disease. Research over the years supports the notion that tumor-initiating cells (TICs), a subpopulation of drug […]
2022 SACNAS Graduate Student Oral Presentation Award (Ester Álvarez Benedicto)
Ester Álvarez Benedicto UT Southwestern Dallas, TX Optimization of phospholipid chemistry for improved lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been established as an essential platform for nucleic acid delivery. Efforts have led to the development of vaccines that protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection using LNPs to deliver messenger RNA (mRNA) […]
2022 SACNAS Graduate Student Oral Presentation Award (Elizabeth Delgado)
Elizabeth Delgado University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI Distinct Wnt Signaling Thresholds Required for Polyposis in the Proximal and DistalStomach Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a genetic disorder characterized by the formation of precancerous polyps throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Polyps form in response to increased Wnt signaling caused by mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli […]
Amish Health Conference in Millersburg, OH (2019)
Before graduate school, I was only vaguely aware of the Amish. And frankly, I kind of only associated them with horse and buggies and baked goods sold at the local farmer’s market. Or was that the Mennonites? Anyway, in a previous post long, long, pre-pandemic ago, I confessed that everything I knew about the Amish […]

Lidiette Angeles Perez University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas, TX Investigating the contributions of cerebellar-hippocampal circuitry to social behaviors, cognition, and dementia About 10% of the United States population will develop age-related dementias, disorders characterized by memory loss, social impairments, and behavioral changes. Despite their high prevalence and increasing cost, there is no effective […]
2021 SACNAS Graduate Student Oral Presentation Award (Dominguez)
Sedelia Dominguez Washington State University Pullman, WA F. tularensis exploits AMPK activation to acquire host-derived nutrients Francisella tularensis, a highly virulent bacterial pathogen, causes tularemia in humans. In humans, tularemia leads to acute infections, but chronic infections result in bacteremia and have a high chance of being fatal. With a low infectious dose and potential […]
2021 SACNAS Graduate Student Oral Presentation Award (Lopes Fischer)
Natasha Lopes Fischer University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA A Coxiella burnetii bacterial protein suppresses host NF-kB signalling Host immune cells use multiple strategies to detect and protect against microbial infections. Signalling pathways activated during infection play a central role in the innate immune response, as they enable the host cell to upregulate several antimicrobial programs. […]
