About Aaryn McDonald-Brown

Hi! My name is Aaryn and I'm a first-year Biological Sciences student at Durham University, starting my project in summer 2024! My research project is focused on the regulation of stem cells in model organism Drosophila melanogaster (common fruit flies) specifically investigating genes linked to cancer in humans. I am particularly interested in genetics and disease and I would like to pursue a career in clinical research. Outside of my studies, I also work as an outreach intern for the Venture Labs at Durham University, and I enjoy singing in my college jazz band and musicals, playing netball, reading, and art!
