Social Media and Drug Discovery

Finding new drugs is a long, expensive process. Drug repurposing, using an old drug for a new disorder, can make this process shorter and cheaper, and can occur by chance when a patient has two medical conditions that are treatable by the same drug. We hope that including you, the consumer, as a partner in drug development through self-report of unexpected benefits from medicinal agents could identify some with potential for repurposing. Your responses to a short Social Media survey may help you and others in the future.

Using Chat GPT and Amazon Alexa for Early Diagnosis of Memory Decline

Early detection of memory problems (such as seen in Alzheimer's Disease) in older adults is essential for planning strategies to improve patients' everyday function and quality of life. While patients and family members often talk to clinicians, our proposed research system is meant to capture changes in memory before they are identified by clinicians. You are being asked to be in the study because you are interested in helping us determine whether changes in voice could be related to physical function and memory changes over time.

Access to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for Prevention of HIV Transmission for College Students Survey

The CDC reported that in 2021, 93% of all young adults newly diagnosed with HIV were college-aged individuals of 18 to 24 years old. Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a type of medication FDA-approved to help reduce the risk of HIV transmission; however, about 23% of people who could have benefited from PrEP were ever prescribed PrEP in 2019. This study aims to uncover what barriers to accessing PrEP that young adults in college may be facing.

COVID-19: How it Affected Parenting and Teaching in Higher Education

Even 3 years past initial lockdown, the COVID-19 pandemic is still a relatively new phenomenon in the world of sociology that leaves a lot to be explored. My senior thesis project aims to investigate an unexplored corner in this gap, specifically parenting and higher education. I'm interested in researching teaching instructors (professors, teaching graduate students, etc.) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who had parenting responsibilities through the COVID-19 pandemic while working at the university. I want to explore how the shift to online working/teaching affected parenthood and work/life balance, as well as the return to on-campus teaching. Although it will be an in-depth exploration, I'm specifically interested in what parts of parenting became easier during the pandemic and what instructors miss about the pandemic, and what this reveals about the gaps in higher education work culture.
