Chris Dulla is Professor and Interim Chair of the Department of Neuroscience at Tufts University School of Medicine. The principal goal of his research is to understand how neurotransmission contributes to the function of neuronal networks. Neurotransmission is the most basic unit of neuronal communication. Disruption of the basic features of neurotransmission is associated with many neurological diseases. His lab aims to understand how specific properties of synaptic function contribute to network activity, and how changes in neurotransmission are involved in the pathology of disease states such as epilepsy and traumatic brain injury. Dulla is specifically interested in astrocyte glutamate uptake, astrocyte/neuron interactions, GABAergic interneuron development, and metabolic control of neuronal activity. Using advanced neurotransmitter imaging, electrophysiological techniques, and more, his lab aims to answer questions about how neuronal network function is shaped by some of the most basic parameters of neurotransmission. Dulla hope to contribute new understanding and novel therapies to treat epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and other devastating neurological diseases.

Cari Vanderpool is a professor of microbiology and the associate dean for research in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences at the University of Illinois.
She joined the University of Illinois faculty in 2006 after completing her PhD at the University of Minnesota and postdoctoral training at the National Institutes of Health. Her research focuses on the fundamental biology of bacteria and the viruses that infect them (bacteriophages or phages). Her research group uses tools of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and genomics to investigate bacterial interactions with each other and with their plant and animal hosts. One of the overall goals of her research is to understand how bacteria sense different environmental conditions and respond by changing their gene expression, cellular structure, and behaviors in ways that allow them to succeed in very diverse and sometimes harsh environments. This work is necessary to reveal how bacteria in the complex communities known as microbiomes contribute to human and animal and plant health.  
Phages are the most abundant biological entity on the planet and bacteria must constantly defend themselves against this natural predator. Dr. Vanderpool’s group is studying how phages interact with an array of bacterial species and how these interactions shape bacterial populations in a variety of natural environments, from the human gut to the soil. Bacteria are engaged in an “arms race” with the phages that target them, characterized by bacterial defense and phage counter-defense mechanisms and Dr. Vanderpool’s group is also studying these processes. There is a great deal of interest in harnessing the natural bacterial killing properties of phages for a range of biotechnology applications. Phages show special promise as an alternative to antibiotic therapies, and thus may help solve the looming antibiotic resistance crisis. Dr. Vanderpool’s group is embarking on new applied research directions that may lead to breakthroughs in use of phages as therapies for a range of human diseases.

Dr. Rong Fan is the Harold Hodgkinson Professor of Biomedical Engineering and of Pathology. His research interest has been centered on the development and deployment of single-cell and spatial omics technologies to investigate normal development, aging, and disease. He received a B.S. in Applied Chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China, a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley, and then completed his postdoctoral training at California Institute of Technology, prior to joining the faculty of Department of Biomedical Engineering at Yale University in 2010. He developed a microchip that allows for simultaneous measurement of 42 immune effector proteins in single cells at high throughput, which remains the highest multiplexing to date for a single-cell protein secretion assay. In collaboration with Novartis and Kite Pharma, it was applied to profiling antigen-specific activation states of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells, resulting in the discovery of novel single-cell biomarkers including polyfunctional strength index to characterize the quality of CAR-T infusion products and predict the clinical responses and immune-related adverse effects(irAEs) prior to treatment. This microchip, called IsoCode, and the automation system, called IsoLight, have been commercialized by IsoPlexis, a company co-founded by Dr. Fan. Now, this system has been used by >100 major pharmaceutical companies and cancer centers around the world for monitoring CAR-T or checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies. Dr. Fan is also a pioneer in developing NGS-based spatial omics sequencing technologies. He conceived the concept of spatial multi-omics and developed the first spatially resolved multi-omics sequencing technology called DBiT-seq (Liu et al., Cell 183, 1665–1681, 2020) which allows for spatial co-profiling of whole transcriptome and hundreds of proteins (spatial-CITE-seq) at cellular level in complex tissues. He further developed a first-of-its-kind technology to enable spatial epigenome sequencing including spatial-ATAC-seq (Deng et al., Nature 609 (7926), 375-383, 2022) and spatial-CUT&Tag (Deng et al., Science 375 (6581), 681-686, 2022). These technologies may unlock a whole new field in spatial biology with applications in a wide range of biological and biomedical research. Dr. Fan co-founded IsoPlexis, Singleron Biotechnologies, and AtlasXomics. He is the recipient of multiple awards including the NCI Howard Temin Career Transition Award, the NSF CAREER Award, and the Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering. He has been elected to American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE), and the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
