Graduate students supported by the Biological Mechanisms of Healthy Aging Training Program
Roles
Ellen Bakotich is a Neuroscience PhD candidate in the Buffalo Lab, studying the neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive aging. Her thesis work investigates how normative aging affects eye movement behaviors in aged non-human primates viewing natural images. Ellen’s research aims to understand how aging influences recognition memory and eye movement viewing behaviors. This work has important […]

Chris Hsu is a PhD student in the MacCoss lab in the Department of Genome Sciences. He uses proteomics and mass spectrometry to study glomerular aging in the kidney. His work aims to identify protein signatures of aging and provide a model for exploring biological heterogeneity in the kidney. […]
Roles
Emily is a PhD candidate in the lab of Dr. Aakanksha Singhvi. Emily studies the effect of disease-relevant genes on glia-neuron interactions. They use C. elegans as a model organism to study the mechanism behind the glial engulfment of the thermosensory neuron, the AFD. […]
