I graduated from Clemson University in 2020 with a BS in Genetics and am now a graduate student in the Molecular Genetics and Genomics program at WashU. I have had a diverse research background from investigating hormonal influences on craniofacial development, bat species hybridization and speciation, to studying circadian entrainment. Currently, I am studying the effects of post-translational modifications on oxytocin receptor function in the uterus following prolonged exposure to oxytocin. I have immersed myself in various interest groups including, president of First-generation Scholars, president of Women in STEM, Director of Partnerships for ProSPER, and Board member for the Association of Women in STEM St. Louis.
Outside of the lab, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé, Camren, Australian Shepherd, Captain, and friends. I have a passion for the arts which is reflected in my small business and the musicals/plays I am a part of. Favorite thing about the Frolova Lab: The opportunity to utilize primary patient samples and bridge basic science with clinical data.
