Emma graduated from Tufts University with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering in 2023. During her time at Tufts, she worked under Dr. David Kaplan in the Neurogroup studying Alzheimer’s disease using human iPSC-derived organoid culture. She is continuing her work in stem cells for her thesis work in which she is growing a SCA1 cortical organoid model to study disease progression in human cells. Outside of lab, Emma likes to read, walk her dog, and cast spells on her friends. Sometimes they are good spells, but sometimes they aren’t. 🧙‍♀️🪄
