Angara lab

Sureshbabu Angara, Ph.D.

I earned my doctoral degree at University of Strathclyde, Glasgow in the United Kingdom. After that, I underwent postdoctoral trainings at Yale University School of Medicine and Weill Cornell School of Medicine in the United States.

Chiahsuan (Josh) Chin, M.D.

I came from the tropical island of the southeastern Asia, Taiwan and also earned my master degree in cell biology and neuroscience there. I had spent four years to learn my cloning, PCR and molecular biology skills in Stony Brook University. In the Angara lab, my area of interest is to figure out the epithelial cell and fibroblast communication during the process of pulmonary fibrosis using in vivo mice models. In my leisure time, I love watching comics and movies. Hiking a trail is my recent habit in Arizona.

Valentina Pujadas, B.S.

I received my Bachelors degree in Biology from ESPOL, Ecuador. I am passionate about research and discovering new knowledge with critical and analytical mindset. Exploring the potential mechanisms of the body to heal and restore itself fascinates me, and I believe that understanding the mechanisms of repair and regeneration can lead to new treatments for a variety of diseases. 

Olivia Triplett, M.D. Student

Olivia Triplett is a first year medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Phoenix. During her undergraduate studies, she worked as a medical assistant at the Allergy and Asthma Center of Boston in the lab of Dr. Weihong Zheng. She also gained research experience at at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Pfizer, Casma Therapeutics, Chroma Medicine, and the Cram Lab at Northeastern University. In the Angara Lab, she will use human basal cells as model systems to elucidate mechanisms during pulmonary fibrosis. Outside of work and school, she enjoys visiting national parks, and bothering her cats, Ellie and Eddie.
