Synthetic biology, which involves designing and building genetic constructs and testing them in living cells, requires wet lab skills.

The causes of such unpredictable results, Harris said, can include bad ingredients in the lab, including contaminated and misidentified cell lines; poor research design, including insufficient numbers of mice in animal studies; statistical error and overreach, including «HARKing» (hypothesizing after the results are known), a push beyond the limits of the data; and funding pressures, which can lead scientists to hype or exaggerate their results to remain competitive for additional grant money.

They geared their experimental design towards conducting direct measurements in space: From thawing the test cells to the measurements themselves, ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti performed all the operations directly in the lab on the ISS.

Her aim is to understand, at the molecular level, the mechanisms that control communication between the brain, immune system, and blood vessels — with the ultimate goal of designing new therapies that slow, stop, or reverse the progression of a wide range of neurological disorders, such as MS. Recently, Dr. Akassoglou's lab identified how microglia — a type of immune cell that acts as the brain's first line of defense — are activated when fibrinogen enters the brain or spinal cord.

Monoclonal antibodies are molecules, generated in the lab, that are designed to target cancer cells and recruit immune cells to attack.

His lab has extensive experience evaluating and modulating T cell responses to tumors and viruses, including introducing genes into T cells to impart specificity and modulate function, designing strategies to overcome tolerance and enhance in vivo activity, and developing mouse models that more accurately model human immune responses to candidate vaccines.

Fascinating research from the lab of Mark Zylka, PhD, director of the UNC Neuroscience Center, suggests that chemicals designed to protect crops can cause gene expression changes in mouse brain cells.
