Jasleen R., Biology
Participating in the SRIG program was an amazing and incredibly rewarding experience that gave me the opportunity to lead my own research project and dive deep into the biology of aging using Caenorhabditis elegans. It was fascinating to see how much these microscopic worms can teach us about human health—from how they respond to stress to how they age. The program provided the structure, support, and funding we needed to develop hands-on lab skills. Collaborating with a supportive research team and mentor greatly enhanced my confidence and critical thinking as a developing scientist. Overall, the SRIG program has deepened my understanding of aging and stress biology, strengthened my research skills, and fueled my passion for science, setting a foundation for any future I may have in research.
