Jasmine Gajeton

Jasmine graduated in June 2014 with a major in Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics (MIMG). Jasmine worked on several projects including studying the expression of microRNA-34a in three cell lines, which were derived from acute and chronic myeloid leukemias, in order to determine its potential role as a tumor suppressor. Her research for the CARE SEM summer program dealt with characterizing a long non-coding RNA in mouse pre-B cell lines. During her junior and senior year, she earned recognition by having her research funded by the URFP scholarship. In her free time, Jasmine likes to play piano and go to theme parks. She is now a Ph.D. student at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio
