Katherine Bilan
Duration in Laboratory: 4 months (May-August 2017)
Position in laboratory: Summer Co-op Student
Short Bio: I'm a third year undergraduate Biology student at the University of Victoria, BC, assisting Dr. Elena Groppa this summer through the CBR Summer Studentship Program. I am assisting her with investigating if there is a lineage relationship between pericytes and tissue resident FAPs, if either of these cell types capable of generating the other or if they have a common origin, and what the respective roles of pericytes and FAPs are in tissue regeneration. In my personal time I enjoy travelling, cooking, and spending time with friends.
