Congratulations to Fall 2021 graduate Jason Sasser, who has completed a Bachelor of Science in Biology with an emphasis in Cellular and Molecular Biology! Jason was also a member of WWU’s Honors College for which he prepared and presented an Honors Capstone Senior Project on his research with the Lee Lab.
Jason’s research contributed to our understanding of the relationship between RNAi pathways, Twi proteins, and genome integrity in Tetrahymena.
Most immediately, Jason plans to gain experience in clinic settings to help him decide whether to pursue a career focused on biomedical research, becoming a medical provider, or both.
We wish Jason all the best in his next steps!
