Investigating Host-Microbial Interactions after Bariatric Surgery (EnteroBariatric)

Start date: Aug 1, 2017, End date: Jul 31, 2022,

Obesity and related co-morbidities give rise to severe health and socioeconomic problems. Surgical treatment for obesity (bariatric surgery) is remarkably effective in the control of morbid obesity and rapid resolution of Type 2 Diabetes, and the number of such procedures is increasing rapidly in many obesity-prevalent countries. We, and others, have demonstrated that surgical interventions such a ...

Prevalence and Influence of Sexual Antagonism on Genome Evolution (SexAntag)

Start date: Mar 1, 2017, End date: Feb 28, 2022,

Males and females display profound differences in phenotype, physiology and behavior, and understanding the evolutionary forces driving this diversity is a long-standing goal in evolutionary biology. Sexually antagonistic conflict, resulting from traits and/or mutations that are beneficial to one sex but harmful to the other, can in theory lead to strong dimorphism, and has been invoked to explain ...

Biophysics and circuit function of a giant cortical glutamatergic synapse (GIANTSYN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2017, End date: Feb 28, 2022,

A fundamental question in neuroscience is how the biophysical properties of synapses shape higher network computations. The hippocampal mossy fiber synapse, formed between axons of dentate gyrus granule cells and dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons, is the ideal synapse to address this question. This synapse is accessible to presynaptic recording, due to its large size, allowing a rigorous investig ...

Topographically-driven meteoric groundwater – An important geomorphic agent (MARCAN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

Topographically-driven meteoric (TDM) recharge is a key driver of offshore groundwater systems because sea level has been lower than at present for 80% of the last 2.6 million years. Groundwater has been implicated as an important agent in the geomorphic evolution of passive continental margins and the canyons that incise them. However, the geomorphic efficacy of groundwater remains dubious, and a ...
