Trainee Spotlight – Carina Cheng

Our trainee spotlight for Wednesday, April 6th is Carina Chen, a graduate student in the Varelas Laboratory on the BU Medical Campus, which uses molecular and genetic approaches to understand how cell polarity and mechanical cues direct the activity of the transcriptional effectors YAP and TAZ to control mammalian organ development, homeostasis and disease processes. Carina has been an active member of the CMTM community, so we were excited to get to know more about her!
