2019 SRE Projects
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NIMBioS is pleased to announce the 18 participants selected for its highly competitive 2019 Summer Research Experience (SRE)<\/a> program. Participants were selected from a pool of more than 100 applicants from around the country. The program runs for eight weeks, from June 4 – July 26, 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants will come to NIMBioS on the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, campus to work in teams with NIMBioS postdocs and UT faculty on six research projects at the interface of mathematics and biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 SRE participants and their assigned team projects are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eniola Adewunmi (Mathematical Biology, Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville), Ambrose Bechtel (Biochemistry & Cellular and Molecular Biology, Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville) and Giovanni Colon Cabezudo (Mathematics, Univ. of Puerto Rico) will collaborate on a project<\/a> to explore the biochemical pathways for aerotaxis in motile bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellie Lochner (Mathematics, Univ. of Wisconsin-Eau Claire), Brandyn Ruiz (Statistics and Applied Math, Arizona State Univ.), and Abigail Williams, (Biology & Mathematics, Salem College) will team up on a project<\/a> to identify areas where climate change is reshaping the potential redistribution of animal populations and thus human-wildlife interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priscilla Cho (Chemistry, Emory Univ.), Lucas Flet (Mathematics, Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville), and Margaret Knight (Mathematics, Colorado College) will work on a project<\/a> investigating viral infection rates of marine phytoplankton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cassandra Azeredo-Tseng (Biochemistry and Applied Math, New College of Florida), Michael Luo (Applied Mathematics, The College of New Jersey), and Natalie Randall (Math and Computer Science, Austin College) will team up on a project<\/a> to model cell differentiation and the influence it plays in cancer pathogenesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vincent Jodoin (Mathematics: Education, Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville), Sheridan Payne (Mathematics, Bellamine Univ.), and Meagan Todd (Systems Biology, Virginia Tech) will work on a project<\/a> to model networking and the opioid epidemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brandon Grandison (Mathematics and Environmental Science, Univ. of Florida), Ana Kilgore (Organismal Biology & Ecology, Colorado College), and Hannah Yin (Biology, Tufts Univ.) will work on a project<\/a> to model the impact of shifting climate on co-evolution in vectorborne diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
