CBC Student Spotlight: Briana Aguilar

My name is Briana Aguilar, and I am currently in Dr. Thomas Tomasiak's lab. I am working with YCF1, which is a variant of yeast cells. We are concentrating on creating various cis-modified mutants to evaluate the change in conformational space via electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR).

As for my predicted graduation date, it is Spring 2023. I am debating between doing my Ph.D. in toxicology right away or getting experience in the industry before devoting another 5 years to the field. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, meal prepping, spending time with friends, and playing COD.
