I am an Auburn University graduate with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Microbial, Cellular, and Molecular Biology with a concentration in Microbiology and a current Master’s student in Dr. Nicole Riddle’s lab. I study sex-specific differences in aging using Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly). My project looks how mitochondrial dysfunction from SOD1 and SOD2 knockdown affects aging.
