INVESTIGATOR: Belinda Barbagallo, Salve Regina University MENTOR: Paul Garrity, Brandise University THEME: Neuroscience ABSTRACT: Throughout life, all organisms are challenged by environmental stressors, highlighting the importance of homeostatic mechanisms for survival. Many studies have shown that neural circuits play a critical role in counteracting the effects of environmental stress by modulating physiology, though the mechanisms underlying […]

INVESTIGATOR: Khadine Higgins, Salve Regina University THEME: Environmental Health Sciences ABSTRACT: The long term goal of this work is aimed at understanding why Mycobaterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) requires two Ni(II)- and Co(II)-responsive metalloregulators associated with the export of Ni(II) and Co(II) and how these two regulators differ. M. tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis, […]
