My name is Samhitha Mada. I’m a third year student at City College of New York in the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education BS/MD Program. My project was Identifying Mechanisms of Cargo Selection by Kinesin Motor Proteins. This project used cellular and biochemical approaches to investigate how kinesins recognize cellular cargo selectively. The motivation behind this project is to potentially reverse the mislocalization of membrane proteins, which is the cause of many different diseases.
