Post-doctoral Fellow
Aparna earned her PhD in Cancer Biology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, where she studied tumor heterogeneity in lung cancer. As a postdoctoral fellow in the Mancias Lab, her research focuses on therapeutic resistance in KRAS-mutant cancers, particularly through ferroptosis-induction and cell-surface–targeting strategies. Outside the lab, she enjoys discovering new local food joints.
