Husniye Kantarci
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly Interests I am very interested in discovering the signals that glial cells and neurons use to communicate with each other, and understanding how these signals regulate neural function and myelination in the nervous system.

James Michael Kilgour
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Dermatology
Bio James grew up in Oxford in the United Kingdom. He graduated from Cardiff University School of Medicine with honours in 2017, and has a BSc in Medical Education. Following graduation, he completed two years as a clinical academic in Dermatology at the University of Oxford, conducting research investigating patient-reported outcome measures and quality of life in patients with Graft-versus-Host-Disease following allogenic stem cell transplant. He has also extensively published in Medical Education, and is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of a novel peer reviewed medical journal targeted at encouraging medical students to publish and peer review.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Simultaneous recording and manipulation of neural activity:
I actively pursue the development and application of techniques for all-optical recording and manipulation of neural activity in living animals. During my PhD I developed a microscope capable of performing bulk calcium recording and optogenetic stimulation in freely moving animals (Frame-projected Independent-fiber Photometry). We demonstrated its utility by recording from sparse dopaminergic axon terminals distributed throughout the brain during rewarding versus aversive stimuli, and by recording from up to 7 different brain regions during a social interaction test. Using simultaneous optogenetics and calcium recording, we could then fine-tune the optogenetic stimulation of dopamine neurons to produce activity that mimicked the naturally-occurring response profiles during behavior. This work was published in Nature Methods, and has been patented and licensed to a company that has commercialized the microscope (www.neurophotometrics.com). -
Daniel Alexander King
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Oncology
Bio Daniel Alexander King, MD, PhD (Oncology Fellow)
Originally from Long Island, NY, Dan trained at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the University of Michigan (BS), Wayne State University (MD), the National Human Genome Research Institute (HHMI Research Scholars Program), Cambridge University (PhD), and Columbia University (Internal Medicine Residency). He enjoys mutation hunting in large-scale genomic data. He was most recently involved in an exome sequencing study of 12,000 children with rare disease and their parents, in which he developed new computational tools to identify large genetic aberrations. His mutational spectrum of interest includes uniparental disomy, copy number alterations, and mosaicism. He plans to explore research opportunities riding the intersection of new technology & genomics, such as single cell DNA & RNA sequencing, and circulating tumor DNA. -

Anna Mathia Klawonn
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research evolves around deciphering the neural circuits of affective disorders. I am particularly interested in how affective and motivational states relate to each other and are encoded in the mesolimbic reward system. More specifically, I would like to find the neurocircuitry responsible for pathologies such as drug addiction, depression and negative affect during inflammatory disorders, in the hope that we can find better treatments against these.

Miri Krupkin
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Structural Biology
Bio My background is deeply rooted in structural biology and biochemistry of proteins and RNA. My current research focuses on understanding the regulatory role of RNA structures in HIV infection. To this end, I am focusing on revealing the conformational landscape of viral RNA during reverse transcription. I am also devoted to promoting science education and outreach.

Amy Krystosik
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Infectious Diseases
Bio I am a post-doctoral scholar and epidemiologist passionate about environmental health and social justice. I have recently finished my Ph.D. in public health epidemiology from Kent State University College of Public Health focusing on chikungunya, Zika, and dengue in Cali, Colombia. My many roles in the LaBeaud lab include: supporting and enhancing ongoing and future projects in data management, mapping, and analysis; creating collaborations; designing new studies; and thinking about global health. Previously I worked on vector control with attractive toxic sugar baiting experiments and dengue and Chagas? disease surveillance and control. I also have experience in prevention of domestic violence and HIV through human rights advocacy. I studied international health and development at Tulane University School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and Biochemistry at John Carroll University.
