Dr. Funk is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Arizona whose laboratory investigates bone-specific pathways with the goal of identifying and developing new therapeutic approaches to promote skeletal health.

Since establishing her independent research program at the University of Minnesota in 2020, Dr. Evans has focused on understanding the mechanisms regulating salt intake and the contribution of the renal nervous system to sodium balance. Her research has incorporated multidisciplinary approaches developed throughout her training, including classical renal physiology techniques, molecular biological approaches, chronic renal physiology techniques, and integrative studies of salt-sensitive hypertension.

Ran and his team aim to understand how the coding of cognitive features of satiety, hunger, thirst, nausea, hypoxia, and visceral pain is constructed from the coding of basic physical variables like force, chemicals, and osmolarity along the ascending interoceptive circuitry.

Since joining the nephrology faculty in 2003, Dr. Crowley has been
studying the functions of specific angiotensin receptor pools in the
body. Throughout this time, he has cultivated a research focus on
the role of inflammatory mediators in hypertension and target
organ damage, reflected in his more recent publications.

Since establishing her independent research program at the University of California, San Francisco in 2019, Dr. Liu has employed multidisciplinary approaches including large-scale genetic and behavioral analyses, immunohistochemistry, functional imaging, and patchclamp electrophysiology to investigate the organization and modulation of nutrient-specific appetites.
