SPOTLIGHT: Arina Rodionova
Arina is a OU's undergraduate student in bioengineering. For nearly 3 years, she has been working with Dr. Randal Westrick, on identifying a genetic mutation that impacts clotting factors within mice. She recently presented her research, titled "Identification of a Noncoding Genetic Variant in the Tissue Factor Locus that Reverses Lethal Thrombosis in Mice," at the American Heart Association Vascular Discovery 2024 and "Characterizing Dominant Noncoding Suppressor Variants of Lethal Thrombosis in the Mouse" at the Allied Genetics Conference 2024. She was a winner of the student travel award and presented in the Trainee Symposium during the Allied Genetics Conference.
