Functional Studies of Novel Genes Mutated in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

The purpose is to better understand the function of newly identified genes that when mutated cause the disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), or clinical disorders that share clinical features of PCD. PCD is a rare disease that is caused by defects in the structure or function of cilia that move mucus and inhaled foreign material, including bacteria and viruses, out of the airways. By understanding how the proteins encoded by these genes function and how this function is altered in disease, we may be able to improve the treatments available for PCD and other airway diseases.

Changes in Skeletal Muscle in Response to Simulated Altitude

The purpose of this study is to learn how muscles change when people breathe air with less oxygen, like being high up in the mountains. We will use a safe ultrasound tool, called shear wave elastography, to take pictures of the muscles and see how they react. This information can help scientists understand how the body responds to high altitudes and may help athletes and travelers stay healthy in these conditions.

Remote Supervision Regulations for Behavioral Health Licensure

The purpose of this study is to examine how state licensure boards regulate the use of remote or tele-supervision for behavioral health clinicians pursuing independent licensure. Advances in telehealth have expanded opportunities for virtual clinical supervision, yet regulations vary widely across professions and states. Understanding how remote supervision is defined, implemented, and restricted can inform policy efforts to strengthen workforce capacity, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
