GRADUATE STUDENTS
Natsai Nyabadza, B.S.
Ph.D. student Biomedical Engineering Joined: Fall 2021 Natsai Prisca is from Zimbabwe. She studied Engineering and Neuroscience at Smith College, and has worked in protein engineering and drug discovery for pharmaceutical company Merck. Now Natsai works to identify matrix molecules responsible for promoting anti-inflammatory glial cell phenotypes by studying the interactions between patient-derived cancer cells and glial cells. Natsai enjoys dancing, knitting, Rubik's cube, & collecting pretty rocks.
