Lauren Drake is a Biomedical Engineering PhD student at Vanderbilt University, where she uses in vitro models of the human brain to study neurodegenerative tau pathology. As a science journalism intern for Drug Discovery News, she is excited to cover novel advances in drug research. When she is not performing experiments or writing about science, she is cuddling with her cats, Willow and Huxley, and her rats, Mitski and Sappho.
