Alcohol consumption impairs motor coordination, attentional efforts and memory function. Alcohol-impaireddriving accounted in 2013 for ~31% of all traffic accidents resulting in 10,076 fatalities and $59 billion crash-related cost. We propose to study the mechanisms how ethanol affects brain state-dependent neuralsignaling. Brain state-dependent signaling comprises adjustments in cellular and circuit activity to optimizehow the brain processes information in a distinct behavioral context.

Campylobacter is a major human pathogen that infects an estimated 2.5 million people each year resulting in anestimated $1.9 billion economic loss in the U.S. Campylobacter jejuni is a common human enteric pathogen thatcauses acute enterocolitis and increases the risk of developing long-term intestinal dysfunction such as post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome. The innate immune mechanisms responsible for intestinal pathology in C.jejuni-induced colitis are still poorly understood.
