Meet Mollie Nielsen, an INBRE Scholar for the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Below, Mollie answers questions about herself.
What you should know about me: I love science to the point that I do it in my free time by baking sourdough bread.
As an INBRE Scholar, I work in the lab of: UNMC’s Karen Gould, PhD. We research the effects of hormones and B-cell development in autoimmune diseases like Lupus.
I chose to participate in the INBRE program because: It gave me the opportunity to engage in really cool research with professionals who are eager to teach and learn alongside you.
As an INBRE Scholar, this summer I want to: Learn more about immunology and the research behind it as well as work on planning my research goals for the future
I get excited about science because: I get to solve problems and use my logistical personality every day.
If I had my own research lab, I would study: Anything to do with anatomy or immunology. I love learning about how the body works and why small things can have a big impact.
Fun fact: I love baking and spending time in the kitchen!
