Undergraduate Student Research Spotlight: Alana Wolfson `26 🧬✨
Alana Wolfson, an animal science sophomore in the honors program, is working with Dr. Sarah Reed on evaluating poor maternal nutrition and its impact on multiple generations of sheep. She has been a part of Dr Reed’s lab starting the fall semester of her freshman year. Moreover as an IDEA Grant and American Physiological Society SURF award recipient, she was given the opportunity to apply her inquiries to the sheep project.
Specifically her project involves evaluating the impact of poor maternal nutrition on muscle fiber morphology, and a phospholipid responsible for mitochondrial function. Currently, she’s gained experience on histology, mitochondrial enrichment, fluorometric assays, and DNA/RNA extraction techniques. The potential future works of her project would involve looking into other aspects that can impact ATP synthesis, mitochondrial activity, and the overall development of an animal.
This coming May 2025, Alana will present her work at the American Physiological Society’s Annual Summit with various figures in academia across the U.S. She is looking forward to networking and learning about current research in physiology and cell biology.
Alana’s future aspirations relate to both her interest in animal welfare and research. Alana’s past experience in shelter medicine has inspired her to dive deeper into aspects of everyday life such as nutrition, that can have an immense impact on an animal’s health. Her main goal is to apply her passion of veterinary medicine and animal science research for the rest of her life. She is extremely grateful for the research opportunities Dr Reed and the sheep project team has provided her, and hopes to continue exploring more questions and ideas in her lab.
