Undergraduate Students

My name is Mainur Khan, and I am a 4th year undergrad majoring in Biology and Global Health. At the El Mallah Lab, I am involved in tissue analysis in multiple Pompe Disease projects, as well as creating literature reviews about PD. Outside the lab, I like to DJ and be outside!

My name is Sloane Mayman and I am an undergraduate student majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Computational Biology. As a student researcher at ElMallah Lab, I engage in tissue studies and data analysis. Outside of the lab, I am interested in aerospace medicine and I love to hike

My name is Jane Lee, and I am a junior at Duke. I am majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry. I joined the ElMallah lab in the fall of my freshman year because of my interest in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which I have been studying ever since. In my free time, I like to play sports, hike, and go to cafes.

My name is Yochebed Woldeyohannes, and I am a senior majoring in Biology and double minoring in Religion and Medical Sociology. In the ElMallah lab, I work on studying the neuropathology of ALS and DMD and better understanding the respiratory insufficiencies associated with the diseases. In my free time I love to try new cafes, cook/bake new things, and explore museums!

My name is Elle Balle and I am a second-year undergraduate majoring in biology with a concentration in neurobiology and a minor in cultural anthropology. I study Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in the lab and work on various projects with mice that analyze their response to novel AAV therapy. In my free time I love to read, explore nature, and try new restaurants/cuisines!
