Pamela graduated from CSU Monterey Bay with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology in 2018. After graduating, she participated in Opportunities in Genomics Research, a year-long post-baccalaureate research program, in the Mitra lab. The goal of her year-long project was to understand how gene expression is a function of transcription factor (TF) binding in budding yeast. Pamela enjoyed her post-baccalaureate experience so much that she decided to pursue a PhD program at Washington University in St. Louis in 2019. She joined the Mitra lab for her thesis work and is studying the determinants of TF in vivo binding in budding yeast. In her free time, she likes to spend time with her dog Lola, collecting plants, and drawing.
