I joined the 4-year WT PhD Program in December 2019 and am currently in my third rotation in Professor Ciulli\u2019s Laboratory. I received my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at the University of California, Davis; and completed a MRes in Biomedical Science at the University of Glasgow where I investigated the ability of physiological protein, Klotho, to stimulate energetic shifting from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis in mouse aortic smooth muscle cells in a PINK1 KO mouse model (Mercer Laboratory). My rotation project in Professor Ciulli\u2019s laboratory is largely focused on testing functionality of PROTACs in living systems. In my free time I enjoy mountain biking, cycling and running with my friends. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Degrees BSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (University of California, Davis) MRes in Biomedical Science (University of Glasgow) Profile Past Member To and From Dates: August \u2013 October 2020 Past Member Current Position: Wellcome Trust PhD student at the School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee My name is Christa Baker, I am from Norther [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":575,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-955","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4506,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/955\/revisions\/4506"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
