梅丽莎·沃德博士
*博士. 沃德的个人网站:
"I am a 加州-based marine scientist investigating coastal climate change impacts and solutions.
重点领域包括:
1)蓝碳:
How do aquatic vegetative habitats such as seagrass meadows, kelp forests, and salt marshes absorb and store carbon, and what role do they play in regional and global climate change mitigation?
2)海洋酸化:
U在哪里?.S. West coast most vulnerable to impacts from ocean acidification? 将如何 贝类产业 manage OA stress, and can we use aquatic vegetative habitats such as seagrass meadows to ameliorate this stress?
3)沿海政策与管理:
To ensure persistence of coastal communities and economies in a rapidly changing environment, coastal resource managers must be able to make adaptive changes on timescales that can keep pace with this change. What federal, state, and regional policies exist that limit 适应能力 and how can we improve these policies?"

“乔斯林. Sessa博士, is a paleobiologist who uses the fossil record as a natural laboratory to study times of change in earth’s history. Her research melds fossil and modern data to elucidate the response of mollusk faunas (clams and snails) to environmental perturbations across space and time. Sessa’s studies span a wide range of events, from the mass extinction that killed off the dinosaurs to past climatic fluctuations, including intervals of past and present global warming. By analyzing the chemistry of mollusk shells, she also reconstructs the climatic conditions that affected ecosystems.
A new research initiative is focused on determining historical baselines for modern ocean acidification, to ascertain whether certain regions or species in the global ocean may be more resilient to future changes in ocean chemistry than others. Sessa’s hunt for mollusks is a worldwide endeavor, with fieldwork along the US eastern seaboard, 美国墨西哥湾沿岸, 加州, 罗马尼亚, 和安哥拉. An important facet of her scholarship is mentoring high school through graduate students in research projects. Sessa is passionate about making science accessible to everyone. 自2007年以来, she has participated in programs to engage groups under-represented in the sciences and is excited to continue this work in the Philadelphia Area."

"Esophageal squamous epithelium exhibits a defined proliferation-differentiation equilibrium that supports barrier function, a primary defense against luminal contents, which may include food allergens and carcinogens. Esophageal pathology often features impaired squamous differentiation and barrier dysfunction, suggesting that mucosal defense mechanisms beyond mechanical barrier exist. We have identified autophagy as a critical cytoprotective mechanism in esophageal epithelia exposed to stressors relevant to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC; one of the most deadly forms of human cancer), Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE; an emerging food allergy-associated inflammatory disorder) and Barrett’s Esophagus (BE; a precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma). Using these studies as a foundation, we now aim to define the precise functional roles of autophagy in epithelial mucosal defense under conditions of health and disease. We utilize a multi-disciplinary approach coupling molecular biology and biochemical techniques with innovative murine disease models, 3D organoid culture and patient-derived specimens with associated clinical data to uncover fundamental mechanisms contributing to epithelial homeostasis and then apply this knowledge toward the development of novel translational avenues for prevention, prognosis and therapy in benign and malignant human diseases."
