Seabirds are a highly-threatened taxon that are also ecological sentinels of ocean conditions, including chemical pollution. Current methods to do so involve pre-functionalizing materials and more synthetic work rather than making the base compound and selectively adding functional groups to it. Professor of Biology (2019) Investigation of crushed response of aluminum honeycomb sandwich composites and sensitivity to manufacturing imperfections. We followed up these findings by identifying small molecule activators of this pathway and demonstrated their efficacy in small animal models of reperfusion injury not only in the heart, but also demonstrated protection in the brain, liver, and kidney.
