Amy Stark
Graduate Student, Penn Laboratory
BS, Iowa State University (2019)
I grew up in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois, and I earned my BS in Genetics from Iowa State University in 2019. I began in Vanderbilt’s Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Fall 2019, subsequently joining the Pharmacology Graduate Program and Dr. John Penn’s laboratory. In my thesis work, I study the contribution of prostanoids to retinal inflammation and the therapeutic potential of prostanoid receptor antagonists in early-stage diabetic retinopathy.
