Congratulations to our recent graduate, Jonalyn, who defended her PhD thesis this past month! Her thesis was titled “Characteristics of erythrocyte exosomes from different aged donors: implications in aging and neuropathology”. In her presentation, Jonalyn identified different blood exosomal miRNAs that could potentially play a role in developing brain neurodegenerative diseases!
We deeply appreciate the guidance and joy that Jonalyn brought to other members of the Aran lab and we will miss her greatly.
