April 1st, 2024: The Randolph Lab is excited to announce that Sahil Soni, one of our undergraduate research assistants, has been awarded a Biology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (BioSURF) for summer 2024. Sahil will be working with Dr. Michael Strickland to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cholesterol transport and metabolism using photoconvertible apolipoproteins. They plan to characterize the transport of LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and HDL (“good” cholesterol) throughout the body. This research will be particularly relevant in elucidating the transport profiles of lipoproteins in both pathological states, such as atherosclerosis, and healthy physiological states. Congratulations to Sahil!
