Natalie N. Remis
Graduate Student (IGP)
BS (Drake University)
*Awarded 5F31DC010529 from NIH-NIDCD.
Natalie generated mice lacking the Mcoln3 gene in order to elucidate the role of the TRPML3 channel in inner ear and other organs. She contributed to finding a mayor role played by mucolipin-endowed lysosomes in a pathology unique to the neonatal intestine.
