Graduate Student
Lab:
Alabady Lab | Miller Plant Sciences
Research Interests:

My research interests focus on RNA biology and cellular dynamics of Acetabularia, a giant single celled alga. My dissertation research utilizes this species to investigate the mechanisms of RNA transport, localization, and stability. Acetabularia provides a powerful model for studying the mechanisms underlying spatial and temporal regulation of RNA in eukaryotic cells. 

Education:
