VAsT mBC and caregivers

We would like to help patients identify what is important to them, i.e., their values, and support communicating that to their caregivers and healthcare providers. We are trying to create a tool that will make it easier to share what is most important to patients with metastatic breast cancer and their caregivers, with the patient's oncology healthcare provider.

Agricultural extension in the southeastern United States and Colombia

This preliminary fieldwork will allow me to assess site feasibility in Georgia, North Carolina, and Colombia for an ethnography of agricultural intermediaries and will shape my future dissertation project and course of studies. The research seeks to expand understandings of extension, an agricultural development model characterized by top-down dissemination of university-based research. Studying how extension employees navigate between their bureaucratic organizations and the farmers they serve -- noting who is considered an expert, how knowledge and technology are produced, and who is involved in the process (and under what circumstances) -- has potential implications for a more just food system.

Peptides in Lupus

Recent studies have suggested that previously unknown proteins found in human blood could be involved in certain auto-immune conditions. The purpose of this research study is to investigate the presence (or absence) of these proteins in blood from patients with SLE. Identifying new proteins involved in the SLE disease process could provide a new molecular model for auto-immune disorders and eventually lead to new diagnostic tools and/or new therapies.
