My name is Brooklyn Lininger, and I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Iowa, with plans to graduate in 2029.

Through my time in the Yang Laboratory, I have gained hands-on experience in cancer research and developed a greater understanding of endometrial cancer biology. I have enjoyed learning molecular biology techniques, including primer design, RNA analysis, and quantitative PCR (qPCR), cell culture, while exploring the role of specific genes in cancer development.

My experiences in the lab have strengthened my appreciation for scientific discovery and the importance of collaboration, attention to detail, and lifelong learning. I look forward to continuing to develop my research skills, contributing to ongoing projects, and exploring how biomedical research can improve patient care.
