Paige Braaten
Technician, Department of Biochemistry
Paige is a recent graduate of Lipscomb University, where she got her Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology. In her time there, she volunteered in the lab of Dr. Beth Conway studying the protein neprilysin in triple-negative breast cancer cells. She also researched the potential teratogenic effects of BPS, a derivative of BPA, in developing zebrafish embryos. Paige has loved every second of her education, and one day she hopes to get her PhD and teach at her alma mater. In her free time, Paige loves to swim, read, hike, and play with her bearded dragon.
