Sara Ramirez awarded F31 predoctoral fellowship
Sara Ramirez (graduate student, Fuhrmann lab) was awarded an F31 predoctoral fellowship from the National Eye Institute at the beginning of April.
Her thesis project delves into the role of candidate regulatory pathways in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) regeneration and repair. I aim to stimulate regeneration in a non-regenerative mouse model and obtain a molecular read out for gene expression changes in regenerating RPE populations.
