UTA Biologist Piya Ghose recently received grant funding from the National Institutes of Health to do In Vivo Genetic Analysis of Compartmentalized Cell Elimination inside the nematode C. elegans. The five-year award will fuel her lab’s research as they try to better understand what genes contribute to cell death in different contexts and may someday provide the groundwork for potential targeted therapies to treat a variety of conditions, including cancer and neurological injuries in humans. Ghose discusses the project, her discovery of compartmentalized cell elimination in C. elegans, the development of her start-up lab and the importance of providing more research opportunities, particularly for women in science, in this edition of Voices - thoughts from Maverick Scientists leading the charge to innovate, discover and learn.
