Role (R. Brewster): Principal Investigator
Goal: The G-RISE proposal at UMBC will support a large community of
underrepresented (UR) PhD students, while providing mentoring that is both (1) tailored to the specific needs of UR graduate students on the UMBC campus and (2) responsive to the rapidly evolving changes in STEM graduate education.

Title: Three-Dimensionally Printed Fused Silica Glass Microcapillary Needles
Role (R. Brewster): co-Principal Investigator
Goal: This phase I application proposal to develop novel glass microneedles using Direct Laser Writing has two aims: to fabricate a pre-calibrated glass minimal viable product (MVP) with anti-clogging capabilities (aim 1) and to test the pre-calibrated anti- clogging MPV using zebrafish embryos (aim 2).

Title: Signaling mechanisms that mediate anoxia-induced cellular arrest
Role (R. Brewster): Principal Investigator
Funding Institute: NIH/NICHD
Goal: To study the function of N-myc Downstream Regulated 1 (NDRG1) in inducing hypometabolism in the zebrafish embryo. Aim 1 investigates the role of lactate in post-translational regulation of NDRG1. Aim 2 tests whether NDRG1 is important for cell cycle arrest in dome stage embryos. Aim 3. Tests whether NDRG1 is important for physiological arrest in kidney and ionocytes.
