Bridge-Building: Effects of Humanization in Conflict Resolution
Haley Petersen and Chris Karpowitz, Political Science Conflict resolution is a popular topic among political scientists, as seen in the study of controlled communication, concession-making, self-perceived victimhood, and threat perception. Previous work has shown that humanization between in-conflict groups is primarily successful when the expression of empathy is unrelated to the conflict itself and catalyzes […]
Bridge-Building: Effects of Humanization in Conflict Resolution
Preston Hughes, Chris Karpowitz, Political Science The research I conducted with Haley Peterson in London during the Winter 2018 semester under the direction of Professors Chris Karpowitz and Joshua Gubler was one case in a multi-case study focusing on the effects of humanization on conflict resolution in conjunction with the psychological effects empathy and dissonance. Conflict […]
Development of a model for Adult T cell Leukemia/Lymphoma in HTLV-1 infected humanized mice
Kayleigh Ingersoll and Faculty Mentor: Dr. Brad Berges, Department of Molecular and Microbiology Introduction Human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) is a virus that is linked to Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), causing cancer in T cells. There are an estimated 10-20 million people worldwide infected with HTLV-1. HTLV-1 is transmitted through contact of bodily fluid and […]
Upregulation of humanized HPRT housekeeping gene in malignant tumors hinders use as an endogenous control
Abigail Felsted and Faculty Mentor: Kim O’Neill, Molecular Biology Our lab focuses on developing immunological techniques for diagnosing and treating cancer in a less invasive manner than current methods employ. New unique biomarkers are constantly needed to identify cancer in early stages in order to decrease mortality rates. When researching and publishing such biomarkers, many […]
The Effect of Repeated Heat Stress on Mitochondrial Protein Content in Human Skeletal Muscle
Amy Twitchell and Faculty Mentor: Robert Hyldahl, Exercise Science Introduction: Exercise has been known to improve mitochondrial function and increase its content in muscle. However, those who suffer from certain diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Type II Diabetes often experience concomitant exercise intolerance. In vitro research suggests that the application of […]
