Today's New Student Spotlight features Samantha Moores, a PhD student in the CMDB program!

My name is Samantha, but I prefer Sammy. I grew up in San Francisco, CA and now live in Brookline, MA. I graduated from Oberlin College with a B.A. in Biochemistry and East Asian Studies. After graduating college, I moved to St. Louis and started working in a lab at Washington University in St. Louis where I investigated the post-lysosomal cholesterol trafficking pathway and tested novel therapies for Niemann-Pick Type C disease. I then moved to Boston to work at the Joslin Diabetes Center where I performed high throughput sequencing analyses of RNA abundance and nucleoside modifications in mouse liver. I am interested in researching how metabolic dysfunction leads to disease. Outside of the lab, I enjoy playing with my cat, baking and cooking, swimming, bike riding and hiking, and have recently started cross-stitching. My favorite things about Boston include all of the food options and visiting nearby states.
