Sofia Cruz, from @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social, is a summer student in @sivaklab.bsky.social. This summer, she ran Western Blots to test newly synthesized drugs called PROTACs for their ability to degrade MNKs, hoping to address #glaucoma (1/2)
Today was all about bright ideas and bold research!
#SummerStudentResearchDay brought together 25+ student presentations, with each student diving deep into discoveryπ¬π₯Όπ
Congrats to the winners!
