Raja Estes is a second year PhD student in the Neuroscience Graduate Program. Raja is interested in how the glial cell type astrocytes develop their connections with brain vasculature. She is in Dr. Monk and Dr. Mishra’s lab using Zebrafish and rodents to tackle this question. Outside of lab you can find her on bike rides, paddle boarding in the Columbia, in the forest on a hike or home with friends cooking! She is stoked to be your VP of Equity and Inclusions this year and is happy to chat with you about any GRU (or just for funsies) questions you have!
