Chimpanzee Intercommunity Competition: Measuring Benefits and Costs at the Group Level.
REFNo: NS826ES
I aim to investigate questions related to the causes and consequences of territorial expansion and contraction at the group level due to intergroup competition. Specifically, I am interested in (i) understanding changes in ranging patterns, habitat use, reproductive success, resource availability and social relationships before, during, and after territorial shifts; (ii) examining decision-making processes during patrolling behavior; and (iii) identifying the mechanisms in which sociality influences group level cooperation.

Identifying Predictors of Kaposi Sarcoma Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome
REFNo: HS2151ES
We propose to utilize the ACSR ARKS study specimen biorepository and clinical database to identify predictors and biomarkers of KS-IRIS in the ARKS cohort.
To determine if select clinical parameters, plasma cytokines, and KSHV burden measured at time of KS-IRIS symptom onset could serve as biomarkers of prevalent KS-IRIS. We will develop a predictive model of KS-IRIS utilizing the ARKS study to extend the findings from the HIPPOS study.
To identify baseline predictors of incident KS-IRIS among adults with early-stage KS initiating ART.,
