Sweta Sudhir
High-School Student
Sweta was a high school student that initially joined the lab through the SSTP program in 2014. She continued in the lab and assisted with our initial studies on nuclear actin during Drosophila oogenesis. In particular, she contributed to our studies on GFP-Actin induced nuclear actin rods.
Sweta is currently pursuing her undergraduate degree at Johns Hopkins University! She is graduating May 2019 and is taking a year to perform research before heading to medical school.
