Biography —
Sarah Noga is from Des Moines, IA where she graduated from Waukee High School. Sarah was inspired to pursue a career in research by her passion to help others and her love of learning. Her work in Dr. Joanna Slusky's laboratory focused on investigating the structure and folding pathways of antibiotic resistance proteins. A more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms behind these proteins will aid in the development of techniques to slow antibiotic resistance. Sarah graduated from KU in 2022 with a B.S. in biochemistry and a minor in health information management. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in chemical and biological engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
