A Postdoc’s Perspective: Dr. Aya Kamzina’s Path to Research

TGen Talks

Every September, the scientific community recognizes postdoctoral researchers during Postdoc Appreciation Week. Postdocs bring new ideas and deep expertise as they tackle complex questions and expand knowledge through experiments. In this month’s episode of TGen Talks, Aya Kamzina, Ph.D., one of TGen’s 11 postdoctoral researchers, shares her journey to becoming a postdoc and her experiences at TGen. Dr. Kamzina’s educational path began in Kazakhstan and differs from many of her peers. She discusses her work with organoids and microglia in Dr. Huentelman’s neurogenomics lab, as well as her diverse background in biochemical engineering and molecular biology. Dr. Kamzina also explains why she finds TGen’s translational research meaningful and how it aligns with her goals in shaping the future of science.
