David Mankarios
David is a Junior at Vanderbilt University and is double majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology and German. He is broadly interested in engineering and biology. As a part of Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscale Science and Technology (VINSE), he constructed a Plasmonic Bull’s Eye for nano-tweezing, and then explored basic biology of gastric bypass surgery and effects on diabetes and colon cancer. In his free time he enjoys reading and playing soccer.
Angela Wang, M.S.
Research Assistant, Department of Cell and Developmental Biology
Angela graduated from Central Michigan University with a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry followed by a master’s degree in Biology, cellular molecular biochemistry. Her research focused on Alzheimer’s Disease utilizing a unique mouse model, which displays ectopic neuronal cell cycle re-entry (NCCR) in post-mitotic neurons in mice expressing humanized Aβ. Interestingly, this model recapitulates numerous pathological hallmarks associated with AD, including pathological tau lesions generated from endogenous tau in the absence of tau mutations. Now as a research assistant in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at Vanderbilt University, she is continuing her journey in the world of neuroscience studying the choroid plexus.
