Aswati Subramanian

I received my undergraduate degree in Life Sciences and a Master‚ degree with a specialization in Neurobiology from Sophia College, Mumbai, India. I joined Miami University, Ohio for a Ph.D. where I studied motor proteins and ciliary motility in Tetrahymena. I continued at Miami as a postdoctoral fellow studying peripheral nerve development in Drosophila. At Simpson, I am enthusiastic about conducting undergraduate research on the molecular basis of motility in Tetrahymena. I am also keenly interested in promoting S.T.E.A.M. education by studying areas in which science and art intersect. Outside the classroom I enjoy creating art, cooking, reading and hiking.
