Aishwarya is a second-year Neuroscience graduate student. Her work in Dr. Timothy Miller’s lab focusses on the development of antisense oligonucleotide therapeutics for neurodegenerative disorders. Painting, dancing, having board-game nights with her friends, and her morning-walks in Forest Park are some of her favorite things to do outside of work.

Van is a second-year Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Structural Biology student in the lab of Dr. Jeffrey P. Henderson. She studies the intracellular siderophores – ferric ion-binding metabolites – in Uropathogenic E. coli. In her free time, she likes to watch TV series and movies.
