Sabrina Van Ravenstein
Graduate Student, Department of Biochemistry
Sabrina graduated The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelors degree in Biology Honors (B.S.A.) in 2018. While studying, she worked part-time as an Undergraduate Research Assistant for Dr. Kevin Dalby under the guidance of Dr. Tamer Kaoud for 3 years. In the Dalby lab she worked on small-molecule inhibitors for MAP kinases. In 2018, Sabrina joined the Vanderbilt IGP program and then joined the Dewar Lab in April of 2019. She currently works on the mechanisms of how topoisomerases and topoisomerase-targeting drugs affect DNA replication termination.
Outside of the lab, Sabrina can be spotted browsing the local farmer’s markets, baking sourdough, or trying to min-max her D&D character.
