Ideally, we would like to develop a collection of math models that can be used, as needed, to understand the viral lode kinetics and cell signaling cascades of categorically different types of infections. 4 R56AI146581 Das (PI) 08/01/19 – 07/30/20 National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Modeling Antibody-induced Immune Responses by NK Cells in Mice and Humans The purpose of this grant is to create new mathematical models to better understand the signaling kinetics of NK cell response initiated by antibody-induction. Here, we propose to use sophisticated techniques in mathematics, statistics, and computer science to better understand and model the cell signaling cascades of NK cells in mice and humans. Non – Peer Reviewed COMPLETED RESEARCH Peer Reviewed R25HD086885 Buhimschi (PI) 04/01/16 – 03/31/19 Futures Matter: Transformative Transdisciplinary Summer Research Program The goal of this project is to expose talented and under-represented high school students to cutting-edge research by pairing students and principal investigators (PIs) with shared interests through an active research project in the PI’s laboratory. CHEST Foundation Hayes (PI) 09/01/16 – 08/31/19 Improving the LAS with Geospatial Lung Allocation Simulation Software The goal of this project is to improve the health-related outcomes of lung transplant patients by allocating donor lungs to recipients more efficiently nationwide. The software that we propose to develop will ensure that allocation policies are flexible and adaptive. MARCH of DIMES Buhimschi (PI) 01/01/18 – 07/01/18 Identifying the Genes for Extreme Gestational Term Length The primary goal of this project is to scan the genomes of affected families ascertained for extreme gestational term length from a large national registry to find genetic loci and/or genes influencing pre- and post-term birth. R01DK031775 Greenberg (PI) 04/01/03 – 02/28/07 National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Two-Locus Models of Epistasis and Heterogeneity The goal of this research is to explore a wide range of two-locus models via customized simulation software to determine which models are most likely contributing to complex common disease.
