Head of Community Conversations

North American Chapter President – Laidlaw Scholars Program, Tufts University Build and support the Laidlaw Scholarship Program community by becoming the head of the Alumni Society's Community Conversations! Responsibilities Coordinate panels and discussions among the wider scholars network. Background I am a senior at Tufts University and a Laidlaw Scholars Program Alumni. In June 2020 I transitioned into the position of North American Chapter President where I coordinate panels and discussions among the wider scholars network. At Tufts, I am studying intergenerational instability of trinucleotide repeats in DNA using a homologous recombination assay in Drosophila to look at the genetic underpinnings of how Huntington's Disease is passed from parent to progeny. I am also pursuing an independent project investigating the potential role of Polymerase Delta Interacting Protein 2 in switching from replicative to translesion synthesis pathways in response to DNA damage. #J-18808-Ljbffr Laidlaw Scholars
