My name is Emilie Petit, and I am a third-year Bioengineering undergraduate at UC Berkeley and a Southern California native. At the Sohn Research Lab, my research focuses on the mechanical properties of cells. I have gained hands-on experience using the Node Pore Sensing microfluidic platform to analyze cell viscoelasticity. This semester, I will be working on a project that involves applying this technology to the study of endometriosis, aiming to deepen our understanding of the disease and improve diagnostic methods. I am passionate about contributing to women’s health research and am enthusiastic about the opportunity to further my academic and research goals. With the support of H2H8, I look forward to gaining research skills to apply to my future graduate studies and making a meaningful impact in the field.
