Lauren Holley
"I will graduate from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in May of 2026 with a B.S. in Biochemistry, a B.A. in Psychology, and a minor in Neuroscience. I am currently an active team member of the Neurotrauma and Rehabilitation Lab at SIUC. My research in the upcoming year will be to examine the effects of using intranasal oxytocin to improve the outcome following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) early in life utilizing a well-established rodent model."

"I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Molecular Biology at Lund University in Sweden. I was interested in structural biology and curious about laboratory work, which led me to my current research group. We work with Contractile Injection Systems, sometimes referred to as nano-syringes. These structures are capable of transporting effectors across membranes and are thought to have great biomedical potential, e.g. for targeted drug delivery."
