Celeste Rodriguez is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Molecular biology. She grew up in the wonderful desert city of Reno, Nevada where she completed her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Molecular biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. There she studied plant cell walls, root hairs, and post-translational modifications. She then did a post-baccalaureate at Brown University looking at how phosphatases play a role in plant development. Now, at Princeton, she is interested in looking at the transcriptional changes in electrically stimulated cells under various electrical fields and conditions. Outside of the lab, she can be found reading books, exploring new bakeries, and hanging out with friends.
