Ubah Jimale Dimbil is a rising senior majoring in biology and minoring in Arabic. Ubah is currently conducting research at the Hagey Pediatric Regenerative Medicine facility where she is focusing on finding the rate limiting step of Wnt3a protein production in CHO-S cells. In general, Ubah is extremely excited about stem cell research and its future impacts in biology. She has also recently decided to take a year off to teach before applying to medical school.
