Student Spotlight

Dana Nicole (Nikki) Reinemann Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Vanderbilt University

As you move forward in science, what type of research do you see yourself doing? Why? I would like to probe the intersection of biology, physics, and engineering by actively assembling in vitro assays to reconstitute physiologically relevant cytoskeletal environments. Not only will these types of experiments reveal new biophysical insight regarding the synergy between different motors, proteins, and filaments, but also they will be a platform for testing the local effects of cytoskeletal drugs.
