Caroline Cypranowska

Caroline Cypranowska is a PhD student in the Molecular and Cell Biology department in the lab of Ehud Isacoff. She uses functional genomics methods to study how motor neurons send and receive signals, using the fruit fly as her model organism. Caroline’s appreciation for computational biology and data science began during her previous work in the lab of Ahmet Yildiz, where she studied how molecular motors move cellular cargoes. Recognizing that programming and data science has helped her transition between diverse projects, Caroline volunteers with The Hacker Within to help others develop skills relating to data visualization, data science, and computation.
