Chloe Nguyen

Masters Student

Biology

 

 

Summary

Chloe is a recent graduate of UC San Diego now pursuing her Master's degree in Biology. Under the mentorship of Dr. Norah Al-Azzam, Chloe was previously a part of the CHMP7 project to understand how CHMP7 mislocalization contributes to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) neuropathology. Now as an independent graduate student, Chloe is investigating the RNA-mediated mechanisms driving Huntington's Disease, specifically looking at the mutant HTT RNA interaction with RBPs and assessing any therapeutic potential of these complexes.

In her free time, Chloe enjoys discovering new eateries with friends, going to concerts, and reading.
