Ms. Desai’s dissertation is entitled “Unraveling the Impact of MYBPC3 Variant Using hiPSC-Derived Cardiac Organoids.

Ms. Desai is my fifth PhD student, and she has successfully completed an American Heart Association predoctoral fellowship (20PRE35120272, Jan 2020-Dec 2021), three publications (PMID: 35832193, PMID: 32670090, PMID: 32656747 and bioRxiv pending), and received numerous awards and oral presentations at national meetings. She also spent six months at Bristol-Myers Squibb in 2023 as a research intern to learn more about industrial research operations and projects. Additionally, she has secured a postdoctoral position at a leading academic institution, which will commence soon. I am thrilled to see her grow and succeed as a scientist, and I wish her the best as she publicly defends her thesis work. At this juncture, I thank her mentoring committee and the Molecular, Cellular, and Biochemical Pharmacology Graduate Program for supporting her academic advancement.
