Nnejiuwa Ibe, BS

I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with B.S. in Biochemistry and became a SoCal to NorCal transplant. I gained my first research experience characterizing apolipoprotein chimeras designed to improve cholesterol transport. While interning at the NIH investigating mutations in the CSB protein which cause Cockayne Syndrome, I developed an interest in aged related research and insight into the importance of research in discovering the etiology of disease. Outside of the lab, I enjoy exploring nature, the city, and coastline drives. I live an active life and love all types of team sports. I love everything that California has to offer, including great weather, good food, and craft beers.
