Harvard HEART/SHURP Program Summer Intern

Anisa Cole joins us this summer as a HEART (Harvard/MIT Equitable Access to Research Training) MD-PhD summer program research intern.  Anisa is a rising junior at Prairie View A&M University, where she is majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry. Anisa is working closely with Dr. Bidisha (Eshaani) Mitra to study the role of LMP1, a key protein in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated B cell cancers, using CRISPR "knock-in" techniques to tag and investigate its function in lymphoblastoid cell lines.
