We have previously developed an implanted neuroprosthesis that uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to activate the paralyzed muscles of the shoulder, arm, and hand in a coordinated manner to restore arm and hand function, and successfully deployed this system in three people with severe paralysis. We have more recently developed and deployed a FES system for the

From microbes to cancer, variability in gene expression can lead to nongenetic phenotypic heterogeneity. This heterogeneity is important in determining how populations of cells grow, survive fluctuating environments, and develop drug resistance. For example, individual yeast cells within isogenic populations show striking heterogeneity in stress tolerance. Though genetic f

"Practicing Interdisciplinary Teamwork" Jonathan Kramer, PhD Director for Interdisciplinary Science National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) University of Maryland
To produce adaptive behaviors, neurons must maintain robust intrinsic excitability. However, the genetic networks that enable intrinsic neuronal homeostasis remain mostly unknown. The Ben-Shahar lab explores the molecular processes that maintain neuronal robustness at different timescale by using the power of Drosophila neurogenetics.

Advancing diversity and inclusion have been persistent challenges in STEM. Consequently, there remains an urgent need for interventions addressing the needs of marginalized students as they progress through undergraduate degree programs. To support this effort, Dr. Walter Lee’s research focuses on better understanding the interventions (program, activities, and services)

The right insular cortex is a critical component of a salience network that is thought to mediate interactions between other brain networks involved in externally oriented attention and internally oriented cognition. How these systems reconfigure with development is a critical question for cognitive neuroscience.

Biologics, products produced from living organisms, have revolutionized treatment of disease. Examples of FDA-approved biologics include therapeutic proteins (e.g. blood clotting factors and antibodies), engineered viruses for gene therapy, and cell therapies. Biologics are addressing previous unmet medical needs, but are challenging to manufacture and therefore high in co

Stepping towards this goal of incorporating biochemical data into ASD diagnosis, we analyzed measurements of metabolite concentrations of the folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism and transulfuration pathways taken from blood samples of 83 participants with ASD and 76 age-matched neurotypical peers. Fisher Discriminant Analysis enabled multivariate classification of the p

Reproduction is governed by the coordinated secretion of hormones from the brain and pituitary. These hormones, GnRH and LH, are released in discrete "pulses", whose unique pattern is regulated by numerous factors. Mechanisms by which endocrine and brain signals modulate reproductive hormone pulses in mouse models will be discussed.
