Jana Cable – MGM Graduate Student

I am a graduate student in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology. Originally from Bowling Green, Ohio I majored in Microbiology at Miami University in Ohio. There, I worked in the lab of Dr. Natosha Finley studying the structure and function of Myosin-Binding Protein-C, a protein that regulates muscle contraction. During my undergraduate studies, I also completed a summer internship in the lab of Dr. Roberto Cattaneo at the Mayo Clinic and in the lab of Dr. Christopf Rademacher at the Max Plank Institute in Potsdam, Germany. I am now studying the role of one of the earliest EBV latency proteins, EBNA-LP, in establishing infection in B cells through regulating transcription and metabolic changes that are required for naive B cell transformation. Outside of lab I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, and hiking with my dog.
