Carolina should write about her time spent vaping with mice!

My name is Carolina Esquer and I am an undergrad working as a research assistant. I am in charge of Dr. Sussman’s mouse colony, primary cell culture, and coordinating the volunteer program we have in the laboratory. I am interested in learning new techniques and helping the graduate students in the lab with their ongoing projects. It’s an exciting time to be in science and I look forward to being part of Dr. Sussman’s team.

Fareheh needs to update this because she is a doctoral student now!

I graduated with Masters in Cell and Developmental Biology in 2012. I joined Dr. Sussman’s Laboratory as a volunteer starting in May 2014. I am planning to start my PhD in the fall of 2015. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work in this lab with amazing projects and wonderful people. The knowledge and experience I am gaining in the lab will help me better understand this exciting field of study and choose the best direction toward continuing my education.

Clarissa needs to update this because she is a Masters grad student now!

I’m Clarissa Savko, a second year Biology major at SDSU. I joined Dr. Sussman’s lab as a volunteer in the Fall of 2017 in efforts to further develop my passion for science by becoming involved in a hands-on research environment. It has been an amazing opportunity to begin understanding all of the work and cooperation that goes into scientific research. Aside from my time spent being a Biology major, I also play clarinet in the Wind Symphony and Symphony Orchestra here at SDSU.
