Ratna Sharma wins best poster at the Columbia Undergraduate Research Symposium! The symposium showcased the work of 150 students across multiple disciplines, with research encompassing STEM, social sciences, and humanities and the arts.
This summer, Ratna joined CEL under the advisement of Dr. Clark Hung and graduate student Neeraj Sakhrani. Her project involved investigating the effects of hyperglycemia on the function of fibroblast-like synoviocytes and its contribution to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Her final poster was titled “High Glucose-Induced Oxidative Stress Impairs Proliferation and Migration of Healthy Human Synovial Fibroblasts in the Development of Diabetic Osteoarthritis.”
Congratulations, Ratna!
