Hello! My name is Andie Venegas, and I am a graduate student at UC Merced in the Saha Lab. I graduated from UC Merced in 2021 where I obtained a B.S in Human Biology. During my time as an undergraduate, I was part of the Oviedo Lab where I investigated tissue regeneration and stem cell repopulation...

Ramen is now an Associate Professor (with tenure). Thanks and gratitude to every Saha lab member –past and present– for their hard work and contribution towards this success.
Our paper titled, ' Mild membrane depolarization in neurons induces immediate early gene transcription and acutely subdues responses to successive stimulus' is now published in JBC. In this paper we show how neurons react in the aftermath of milf depolarization. This study was initiated in 2019 by...
