​Kathryn Sanchez is currently a student at New Mexico State University obtaining a B.S in Biology. As an NIH BP ENDURE BRAiN Scholar, she undertook a histological study with Dr.Elba Serrano which examined development of the myelin sheath surrounding the acoustic-vestibular nerve of Xenopus Laevis. During a summer internship at the University of Pennsylvania, Kathryn examined mouse hippocampal metabolism in the laboratory of Dr. John Wolfe. The Wolfe lab explores the lysosomal storage disease Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VII, and was interested in researching ATP synthase in MPS mice. Kathryn established a protocol that assessed the electron transport chain of mouse hippocampal tissue using high resolution respirometry. She presented this work as a poster entitled Development of high resolution respirometry protocol for brain tissue as a form of metabolic analysis for MPS VII mouse models at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in 2013. Additionally, Kathryn explored the pathology of Alzheimer’s Disease at New York University in the lab of Dr.Jorge Ghiso. This project involved the investigation of a novel antibody probe specific to an amino terminus truncated amyloid peptide. She presented this work as a poster entitled “Amyloid beta truncated fragments: Relevance for Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis” at the Society for Neuroscience conference, and received the Leadership Alliance Experimental Biology Fellowship for this work. In addition to research, she is also passionate about  the impact of science on society. Through Student Center for the Public Trust, Kathryn has participated in case competitions involving bioethics and technology.
