Biography

Sabrina is a Master's student in our lab. Sabrina is interested in deciphering the cross-connectivity between the unfolded protein response, the stress response of the endoplasmic reticulum, and the cell cycle. She joined  joined the Acosta-Alvear lab in the fall of 2017 as an undergraduate researcher. Outside of the lab, Sabrina enjoys playing the flute.
