Congrats to PhD Student Jonalyn DeCastro for Successfully Defending Her PhD Thesis!

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.
