Sabrina is a graduate student in the Department of Molecular Biology joint between the labs of Dr. Britt Adamson and Dr. Jared Toettcher. As an undergraduate student at UC Santa Barbara, Sabrina studied how cells sense and respond to toxic RNAs in the lab of Dr. Diego Acosta-Alvear. She furthered her research in stress biology as a Master’s student in the Acosta-Alvear lab, studying the relationship between endoplasmic reticulum stress and cell cycle progression. At the end of her Master’s degree, she was involved in the development of Cas13-based diagnostics for COVID-19 detection and surveillance. In her PhD work, Sabrina is interested in using high-throughput genetics and transcriptomics to study Erk signaling dynamics.

Sabrina is a Sciences Fellow for Princeton’s Prison Teaching Initiative. Outside the lab, you can find her volunteering through the Molecular Biology Outreach Program, doing hot yoga or knitting her next sweater.
