Sherine F. Elsawa — Dr. Sherine F. Elsawa's lab focuses on understanding how a specific protein called GLI2 helps control the production of antibodies by B cells, which are essential for our immune response. The lab uses both special human B cell lines and genetically modified mice to explore how GLI2 affects the transcription of immunoglobulin genes, which are vital in responding to infections and diseases. This research is particularly important for understanding immune disorders where antibody production goes awry, like certain autoimmune diseases and cancers.
Sharyn J Potter — Dr. Sharyn J Potter's research lab at the University of New Hampshire focuses on addressing the interconnected issues of sexual violence and alcohol misuse among college students. By developing and testing a comprehensive e-health prevention program that employs multiple strategies, the lab aims to create a safer campus environment. Engaging undergraduate students in research activities is an essential part of the lab's approach, allowing them to contribute actively to this vital public health challenge.
