Han Joo Lee — Dr. Han Joo Lee's lab at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee focuses on understanding and improving the brain's ability to inhibit inappropriate behaviors, particularly in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related conditions. The lab is testing a new computerized training program designed to enhance this ability through a mix of gaming elements and behavioral monitoring. This research aims to develop effective treatments that can be personalized to individual needs, making therapy accessible and more widely applicable.
Alita Burmeister — Dr. Alita Burmeister's lab at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee focuses on understanding how bacteria evolve resistance to treatments, particularly using bacteriophages as an alternative to antibiotics. The lab studies the costs and benefits of different resistance mechanisms, such as mucoidy, which can both protect bacteria from phage attacks and affect their virulence. This research not only aims to find ways to use phages effectively in treating bacterial infections but also provides valuable hands-on research experience for undergraduates.
