How Does Trex2 Maintain and Alter Chromosomes?

Genome instability is a hallmark of cancer. Yet genome maintenance and mechanisms of genome instability are not clearly understood. This proposal continues the collaboration between Dr. Paul Hasty at the Health Science Center at San Antonio and Dr. Cristina Montagna at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. They will explore the involvement of TREX2 in both the suppression and development of genomic instability. TREX2 is a 3'?5' exonuclease that removes 3' mismatches in DNA. However, its biological function is not known.

CAREER: Tailoring Thermal Conductivity of Soft Magnetic Nanomaterials for Wireless Neuromodulation

This career research project provides the foundation for a long-term productive research program to investigate nanoscale transport phenomena principles for the development of a novel neuromodulation technology. This research explores fundamental questions of nanoscale heat and mass transport. and applies these findings to yield a completely new mechanism to transduce magnetic signals into biochemical stimulus utilizing hybrid nanomaterials. This research would (1) develop a completely new paradigm for precise control of neural activity.
