FOREWORD

Every year, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Graduate Student Research Symposium showcases the breadth of

scientific research and the achievements of the graduate student community at the NIH. The symposium is the largest

graduate student event of the year - an event in which graduate students can come together to share their research,

appreciate the work of their colleagues, and celebrate the successes of the graduate student community.

In its seventeenth year, this annual symposium provides an opportunity to acknowledge the scientific accomplishments

of the hundreds of graduate students working on their dissertation research at the NIH. This symposium highlights

the spectrum of scientific research conducted by graduate students at the NIH, who represent numerous universities

across the world and span nearly all institutes and centers within the NIH. The NIH Graduate Research Symposium

recognizes the diversity of research specialties supported by the NIH and exhibits the scientists of tomorrow, from

those developing new research proposals to those preparing to defend years of dissertation research.

This symposium will provide the graduate student community with the chance to hear about the scientific work of our

peers in several formats. Students will present their research in six virtual sessions across two days through scientific

posters judged by NIH postdoctoral fellows and staff scientists. Winners of the poster competition will be awarded the

prestigious NIH Graduate Student Research Award, generously funded by the OITE. In addition, eight current students

will give oral presentations chosen based on scientific merit and diversity.

Our 5th annual elevator pitch competition, in which current graduate students will be judged on their ability to

explain their science to a general audience in two minutes or less, will follow a slightly different format this year,

with students submitting videos in advance. The final event will be held live on the morning of Feb. 18th. Following a

second exciting day of posters and talks, a graduation ceremony will be held to recognize those students who have

defended their dissertations within the past year. Dr. Michael Gottesman and Dr. Sharon Milgram will present the

recent graduates with a certificate in honor of their accomplishments. Afterwards, we will conclude the day with the

presentation of awards for outstanding research mentors. Our success as graduate students would not be the same

without the guidance of high-quality research mentors who have supported us in innumerable ways, from providing

networking opportunities to career development advice. We are grateful for the influential mentorship provided

at the NIH to help us become independent scientists and forge relationships extending beyond graduate school.

Four outstanding mentors nominated by their students will be honored for their leadership, support, and dedication

to their graduate students.

We are thankful for the opportunity to share our research with the entire NIH community at the 17th Annual NIH

Graduate Student Research Symposium. We thank all of the graduate students who have participated in this event

and those who have provided us with continuous support in our scientific careers. We hope this event establishes

new connections and collaborations and inspires future scientific contributions to the community at the NIH.

STUDENT SPEAKERS

Shachar Abudi is a 4th year MD-PhD candidate in the Tel Aviv University-NIH GPP. She

is co-advised by Dr. Yair Anikster (Tel Aviv University), Dr. May Malicdan (NIH-UDP), and

Dr. William Gahl (NHGRI). In 2014, after two years of service in the Israeli army, Shachar

started her biomedical career and enrolled to obtain a medical degree. Pursuing her passion

for translational medicine, Shachar successfully applied to the GPP program in 2017 and

initiated her PhD studies in the lab of Prof. Anikster, head of the Metabolic Disease Unit at

Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital, Sheba Medical Center in Israel. There, Shachar

was involved in elucidating the molecular bases of inborn errors of metabolism and rare

genetic disorders. She collaborated in the identification of several new disorders, including

PPCS-associated dilated cardiomyopathy. As a part of the GPP, she joined the lab of Dr.

William Gahl at the NHGRI in 2018, where her studies are focused on a rare genetic disease

called Hermansky Pudlak syndrome type 1. HPS1 patients manifest albinism, excessive

bleeding and pulmonary fibrosis (HPSPF), an irreversible and lethal restrictive lung disease.

There is no available treatment for HPSPF. To study the disease mechanism and therapeutic

aspects of HPSPF, Shachar established animal models that mimic the human phenotype, and

she is using them to study different approaches for gene therapy. The first approach is gene

complementation that gives an additional, normal copy of the mutated gene; the second is

gene editing that fixes the mutation in the DNA. Dr. Gahl’s lab is hoping that one day they will

be able to treat HPS patients with gene therapy. Currently, Shachar holds a bachelor degree

in Medical Sciences (B.Med.Sc) and a Master of Science degree; soon, she will earn her MD

and PhD degrees. Shachar is grateful for the opportunity to share her research with the NIH

graduate student community.

Melissa Arroyo-Mendoza is starting her 3rd year as a PhD student in the individual

Graduate Partnership Program between Iowa State University (ISU) and NIH-National

Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Melissa received

her BS and MS from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona in Biology. As an

undergraduate and then MS student, Melissa was under the mentorship of Dr. Nancy

Buckley, investigating whether cannabinoids such as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol

(THC) and the peripheral cannabinoid receptor (CB2R) affect mouse resistance to

systemic yeast infections. Her thesis focused on the differences in the immune response

and susceptibility to systemic Candida albicans (C. albicans) infection between female

and male mice and whether sex hormones are responsible for the sex-dependent

susceptibility to this infection. Her research demonstrated that male mice were more

susceptible, and it strongly suggested that testosterone plays an important role

in decreasing resistance to a systemic C. albicans infection. Upon completing her

MS, Melissa joined the lab of Dr. Deborah Hinton at NIDDK as a post-masters fellow

where she investigated the role of previously uncharacterized phage proteins that

aid in bacterial host takeover. As a PhD student, she is conducting her dissertation

research under the mentorship of Dr. Hinton (NIDDK) and Dr. Gregory Phillips at ISU,

characterizing a unique variant present in RNA polymerase of LF82, an Adherent

Invasive Escherichia coli that is associated with Crohn’s Disease. Her work has shown

that this single mutation in the transcriptional machinery leads to significant global

transcriptional changes. Melissa is very grateful for this opportunity to share her work

and would like to thank OITE and NIH for their continued support.

Juan Enriquez Traba is a second-year PhD student in an individual graduate

partnership between the Cajal Institute of Madrid, Spain and the National Institute of

Mental Health (NIMH). Juan graduated from the Autonomous University of Madrid

in 2017, earning a BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. His undergraduate

thesis work in Dr. Rosario Moratalla’s laboratory, involving the study of dopamine

D1 and glutamate mGluR5 receptors in regulating Parkinson’s disease and L-DOPA-

induced dyskinesias, allowed Juan to become proficient in systems neuroscience

techniques. After completing his BS, Juan received a Master’s in Biotechnology at the

University of Edinburgh in Scotland, where he trained in computational neuroscience.

For his MSc dissertation, Juan developed a computational model to simulate the

neurobiological processes of spatial learning and navigation in the Morris Water

Maze task and presented this work at the 11th FENS Forum of Neuroscience (Berlin,

2018). Juan then began a collaborative PhD program under the mentorship of Dr.

Moratalla and Dr. Hugo Tejeda at NIMH. He joined the Unit on Neuromodulation and

Synaptic integration led by Dr. Tejeda in 2019, where he is currently elucidating the

role of the nucleus accumbens dopamine receptors in regulating motivated behavior

by employing electrophysiological, viral/transgenic and optogenetic approaches. This

could eventually aid in the understanding of the underlying causes of neuropsychiatric

disorders, the most prevalent cause of disability in the US population.

Amelia Foss is a second-year PhD candidate in Oncology with the NIH-OxCam

Program. She is co-advised by Dr. Kandice Tanner and Dr. Michael Gottesman (NCI)

and Dr. Manav Pathania (University of Cambridge). Amelia’s research combines

cell biology, in vivo work, and biophysics techniques to investigate the role of

biomechanics in the progression of glioblastoma (GBM). In her work at the NCI,

she investigates mechanical properties of patient-derived GBM cells, as well as

their molecular and mechanical interaction with the local microenvironment in

vivo in zebrafish models. Amelia received her bachelor’s degree in Molecular

Biology from Princeton University, where she first experienced a fascination with

biological research studying drosophila development in the lab of Dr. Elizabeth

Gavis. Following graduation, she was awarded a Fulbright fellowship to research

kidney disease at Semmelweis Medical University in Hungary. She pursued her

master’s degree through the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree program,

studying translational research at Heidelberg University in Germany and at Uppsala

University in Sweden. At Heidelberg University, with Dr. Jonathan Sleeman, she

investigated the role of senescence in metastatic melanoma, establishing her

interest in cancer research. At Uppsala University, in the lab of Dr. Anna Dimberg,

Amelia began her study of glioblastoma, probing the interaction between GBM

tumors and tumor-associated vasculature. Amelia is grateful to the NIH-OxCam

program for the opportunity to employ a unique interdisciplinary approach in her

continuing study of glioblastoma, and is grateful to the many mentors and colleagues

that have supported her thus far.

Justin Gray is a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Johns Hopkins-NIH GPP.

Justin graduated from the University of Central Florida where he earned a B.S.

in Biomedical Sciences with Honors. In his undergraduate, he received an NSF

fellowship focused on STEAM education that funded his cancer research and allowed

him to teach art, music, and graphic design classes about cancer research. The

ensuing art, based on a myriad of subjects related to cancer, including personal

stories, his own research, and the impact that science has on others has been a

consistent motivator for Justin. At the start of his dissertation research under Dr. Li

Yang, Justin focused on understanding how the immune microenvironment impacts

tumor cell dormancy. In the last two years, Justin has studied how tumors can use

cell death to their advantage. Using time-lapse microscopy and image analysis he

discovered and characterized a novel cell death phenotype that benefits nearby

tumor cells leading to the formation of large macrometastases. Justin is grateful for

his colleagues at the NIH and Johns Hopkins that have made his work possible.

Andrew Lauziere is a fifth-year PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics at the

University of Maryland, College Park and in his third year with the UMD-NCI GPP.

Andrew graduated from UMD in 2016 studying mathematics and economics. He

then elected to continue his studies in applied mathematics at UMD and joined the

Applied Mathematics, Statistics & Scientific Computation (AMSC) program. During

his tenure teaching undergraduate statistics, Andrew led initiatives on campus

to enhance and support STEM education for US veterans. He then joined the

UMD-NCI GPP to do research with Dr. Hari Shroff at NIBIB while being co-advised

by Dr. Radu Balan (UMD). Andrew concurrently joined COMBINE: Computation

and Mathematics for Biological Networks, an NSF funded research traineeship

program at UMD. While at NIH, Andrew has collaborated with FAES as faculty to

design and teach statistics courses with the goal of preparing trainees to properly

apply statistical methods in biological research. Andrew’s research has concerned

the curation of statistically guided discrete optimization algorithms to assist in

nuclear tracking in fluorescence microscopy. His philosophy is to leverage data

driven computational methods in order to improve the efficiency in performing

biomedical research. His foremost goal as a researcher is to bridge members of

mathematical and biological communities to foster communication, education, and

collaboration. Andrew is particularly grateful to faculty and staff across NIBIB and

Russell Quinn is a 4th year PhD Candidate in the Johns Hopkins-NIH GPP, presently

pursuing his thesis in the laboratory of Dr. Kapil Bharti. Russ received his BS degree

in Biochemistry from Virginia Tech in 2013, while also interning with physicians at the

University of Maryland Medical School during the off seasons. These summers were

spent investigating the role of survivin, a known oncogene, and its’ associated role

in esophageal tumor growth and severity. After graduation, Russ would first join the

NIH as a part of Dr. Dan Sackett’s group within the NICHD, where he began work on

evaluating tubulin content and stability in the parasite genus Leishmania. Anti-parasitic

drugs - which were believed to target parasite specific tubulin domains - were able to

be evaluated for their efficacy, leading to improved screening accuracy for a neglected

tropical disease. Russ has since joined the National Eye Institute’s Bharti Lab, where

he has helped develop IPSC derived bio-engineered tissues used to model ocular

pathologies in a physiologically relevant 3D in vitro system. His thesis work has sought

to incorporate monocytes and macrophages within these engineered constructs, in

order to investigate the role these innate immune cells play in the development of the

back of the eye. Additionally, he has been able to examine how changes in the ratio

of these immune cells can influence and exacerbate pathological conditions such as

Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). He would like to thank the NIH, and OITE in

particular, for giving him an opportunity to share his work with our research community,

as well as for the extraordinary mentorship he has received from its members.

Keyla Tumas is a sixth year PhD candidate in the Georgetown University-NIH GPP.

Keyla graduated from Ithaca College in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.

Her undergraduate honors research characterized the glue secreted from slugs to

help mimic its properties for possible biomedical applications. Following graduation,

she completed a summer research project at Gilead Sciences on liver fibrosis. She

then worked as a postbaccalaureate researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory

on various projects for the Biosciences Division. For her PhD dissertation, Keyla is

performing research at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in

Dr. Xin-zhuan Su’s laboratory, which concentrates on dissecting the host-pathogen

interactions utilizing rodent malaria parasite models. In particular, Keyla has focused on

characterizing malaria induced anemia phenotypes and identifying possible molecular

mechanisms for the changes to the red blood cell production. Overall, she is immensely

grateful for all of her time spent with the NIH graduate student community and wishes

all the best to the other graduate students!
