graduate school at Brandeis University, I worked for the City of New
York in a forensic biology laboratory (NYC OCME). While it was
certainly exciting, I knew I wanted to return to academia. I joined
the Sengupta laboratory because I wanted to work with C. elegans
(worms!) and do both biochemistry and microscopy. I am interested in
better understanding the mechanisms of intraflagellar transport using
biochemical approaches and forward and reverse genetics. I am
particularly interested in understanding how cell specific cilia
structures are generated.
