Emily is a second-year Developmental, Regenerative and Stem Cell Biology student in the lab of Dr. Amber Stratman. She studies how mechanical forces and signaling affect vascular development and disease, utilizing zebrafish and human cells. In her free time, she enjoys trying out new foods and events in STL, playing racket sports, board games, and cooking (which is basically an excuse to eat more new foods).
