Yerin graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2023 with a BS in Biological Sciences with minors in History and Chemistry. She has worked as an undergraduate researcher in an endocrinology lab for four years in college. Post-grad, she gained many meaningful clinical experiences working as a care assistant, solidifying her dreams of becoming a doctor one day. She also missed doing research during her post-grad life, which led her to finding the lab in 2024! Outside the lab, Yerin enjoys drawing, playing cozy video games, and spending quality time with friends.

Korina is a biology undergraduate student at the University of Pittsburgh who joined the lab in August 2023.
