A rising junior, Lisa Ly has declared a major in biology. This summer in the Transplant Immunology Lab with Dr. Sheri Krams, she is investigating NKp30’s role in the immunological synapse between natural killer (NK) cells and tumor cells using confocal microscopy. Always appreciating the human body’s wonders and health-related community service, she hopes to attend medical school in the future.
