- Congrats Dr. Mizenko!
Where are they now: Rachel will start her postdoctoral fellowship at Northwestern University in Fall 2024.
While in the Carney Lab (2018-2024), Rachel explored the following topics:|
Project: Using techniques like flow cytometry to determine how surface expression on EVs relates to selectivity uptake into certain tissues for use as a targeted therapy. Understand the implications of EV heterogeneity - on everythign!
Goals: To aid in the early-stage development of regenerative therapies, to improve my painting skills, and to learn how to roll my r’s
Hobbies: Painting, camping, and climbing mountains
