Show Notes

Hello everyone! My name is Sami Muslmani and I am a rising Junior at the University of Arizona. I am double majoring in Biochemistry and Neuroscience and Cognitive Science with a minor is Spanish. I have worked in Dr. Marvin Slepian’s Cardiology lab for roughly 2 and a half years now since high school, where we explore three main areas: 1. the role of cell-matrix interactions in vascular disease, 2. basic aspects of cell-material interactions and 3. the impact of physical forces (notably shear and sound) on platelet activation. This summer, we have started a new project to identify the role of water channels within platelets and the resulting effect of shear stress and low sodium conditions on platelet function. Moving forward, I hope to become a physician and provide clinical aid to impoverished areas across the globe. Beyond academics, I enjoy staying active at the Rec center, watching movies, trying new food spots around Tucson, and traveling to new cities with friends.
