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.

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.

Isela Garcia presented her poster at the 2019 Summer STEM Research Poster Session. Isela is photographed with Kristi Kooiker and Mike Regnier.

Bryah Martin gave a talk at the 2019 STEMPREP Project Presentations.

Luis Ruiz presented his poster at the 2019 STAR Poster Session and the 2019 Summer STEM Research Poster Session. Luis is photographed with An-yue Tu and Kristi Kooiker.
