Darwin Arias
Research Assistant, Sleep, Mind, & Health at Columbia University School of Social Work
I am currently an undergraduate at Columbia University, studying biophysics. My research interests fall in the intersection of biophysics and neuroscience.
I'm currently a biology major on the premed track, but I'm also interested in public health. Research-wise, I am very interested in the field of immunology, especially autoimmunity. I wish to study the mechanisms behind autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Type I diabetes. I have worked in several research laboratories in the past: studying inflammatory responses in zebrafish, using biophysical tools to look at the structure of RNA molecules, and most recently, I'm doing work-study as a research assistant at Columbia's Morphogenesis and Developmental Biomechanics lab.
