Ruth Perez

Ruth is currently a pre-biology major, planning to declare a major in Pharmacology in the MCDB department. She will work with Kirstin to understand how adhesive molecules in a solid tumor can be weakened to enhance phagocytosis by CAR-P macrophages. Her research is funded by the SACNAS Scholars Program.

Outside of the lab, she enjoys weightlifting, watching sunsets at the beach, and making flower-bouquets. On her free Thursdays, Ruth likes to go to the sunset market in Oceanside to try new foods!
