2024 Summer Students
Rachelle Soriano (right, photo below) joined the HAMM Lab as part of the ISCRM REU Program from California State University in Los Angeles, where she majors in Biochemistry. She was mentored by graduate student Kalen Robeson (center, photo below) and studied the effects of cardiomyopathy-related myosin mutation E525K on sarcomere organization and contractility.
Kieran Fruebis (left, photo below), and undergraduate student in Biology at UW, also worked with Kalen over the summer on examining the mechanisms of the dilated cardiomyopathy-associated mutation R369Q.
The HAMM Lab also hosted 2 students through the AVELA Program, Fatou Sanneh and Megan Castellanos, who worked with Research Scientist Dr. Galina Flint.
2019 Summer Students
Three students joined the HAMM Lab during the summer of 2019 to gain research experience under the mentorship of research scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. Isela Garcia, Bryah Martin, and Luis Ruiz were supported by the UW GenOM ALVA Program, the STEMPREP Project, and the UW STAR Program, respectively.
