Sarah Winburn graduated magna cum laude in 2019 as a Biochemistry major with minors in Spanish and Microbiology. A Gates Millennium Scholar, 4-time President's Honor Roll student and 2-time Dean's Honor Roll student, she hopes to travel and gain work experience after graduation before eventually attending professional school. Sarah studies how the different stress sensing proteins located within the stressosomes of B. subtillis respond to different types of stressors and affect cell survival. Sarah just graduated from our Accelerated Master's program for 2019-2020—during her program she was also a TA for BIOL 1114 and was a superb mentor to Katie and Lauren. Having graduated, Sarah is technically a lab alumna, but she is sticking around OSU to do more teaching and will frequently be around the lab!
