Emma Baltrusaitis joined CEL as part of Columbia University’s Engineering the Next Generation (ENG) Program. Emma is a rising 12th grader attending Hunter College High School. This summer, Emma spent 6 weeks working on a research project under the mentorship of Dr. Clark Hung and Howard Nicholson III. Her project focused on investigating the effects of bleeding on the ACL and exploring ferroptosis as a mechanism of cell death in the joint space. Her final presentation, titled “Elucidating the Role of Blood Constituents in ACL Injury”, was given at the ENG Symposium on August 15, 2024.
Congratulations Emma! We can wait to see what you accomplish next!
