Life is great when you have this team.

FYI, that is not my husband...

Aya's project investigates how cells and organelle size connect with each other. She uses optogenetics and fluorescence microscopy to study the limits of size scaling models for mitochondria and vacuoles, especially in different carbon sources. Her research also explores impacts on cellular function, providing insights into the interplay between cellular physiology, organelle dynamics, and environmental conditions.

Yuly's project studies the impact of metal exposure, particularly LiCl, on the inheritance of yeast vacuoles from mother to daughter cells. The project utilizes fluorescence and time-lapse microscopy to study the inheritance blockage and restoration of vacuole inheritance within yeast cells.

My current project focuses on studying the impact of metal exposure on organelle structure and dynamics in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. I aim to earn my PhD and pursue a career in biotechnology.
