Angelina V. Grebe
Biochemistry PhD Student, Emerson Lab
City College of New York - Expected Graduation: 2026
Objective
Looking for summer research opportunities for 2024 in the field of biochemistry/neurobiochemistry. Open to learning more about companies that work in adaptation of nanotechnologies to the biomedical field.
Bio
Angelina Grebe is a member of the Emerson lab, where the focus is developing a better understanding of how gene regulation during development influences cell fate decisions, particularly in the vertebrate retina. Angelina’s specific project focuses on development of a method to determine, in vivo, the proteins that bind to cis-regulatory elements of DNA to help drive these cell fate decisions. This has given her the opportunity to bring new techniques into the lab and adapt them toward achieving this goal. When not in lab, she enjoys staying active by running and playing in a recreational basketball league.
