Ph.D. Student

Biography

Sarah is a first-year graduate student in the South Texas Medical Scientist Training Program under the mentorship of Dr. Ann Griffith. Her previous research experience is in the field of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, where she studied the signaling mechanisms of CXCR4 and CXCR5, two chemokine receptors implicated in many cancers. Her current research focuses on investigating the role of paracrine mTOR signaling in the thymus and the effects of aging on thymic stromal architecture and T cell immunity. She is currently interested in pursuing residency in pediatrics and medical genetics.
