My project and lab I investigated how light affects glucose homeostasis through the sympathetic nervous system, using mouse models in Rejji Kuruvilla and Haiqing Zhao’s lab. This interdisciplinary project combines skills of both metabolism and neuroscience. I raised the mice under constant dark conditions and conducted various metabolic tests. I discovered that a lack of […]
My area of research My PhD utilized tools from cell biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry to investigate development under favorable and unfavorable conditions in C. elegans. I worked in John Kim’s lab. During my PhD, I worked on the regulation of microRNAs during development and environmental stress in C. elegans. While most research is done under standard laboratory conditions, […]
I studied human genomics and evolution in Rajiv McCoy‘s lab using computational methods. This was a pretty big change from my undergraduate research, where I worked entirely at the bench on yeast cell biology and didn’t know how to code at all. Part of the reason why I chose to come to CMDB was that […]
