In the Bertozzi lab, she is studying the functions of the lysosome using chemistry-based approaches, co-mentored with Prof. Monther Abu-Remaileh. Previously, Aswini completed her B.S. in Bioengineering at UC San Diego, where she worked in the lab of Prof. Weg Ongkeko to study the roles of non-coding RNAs in cancer. Subsequently, as a Churchill Scholar, she received an MPhil in the lab of Prof. Venki Ramakrishnan at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, where she investigated protein translation mechanisms.
