Gerber Lab
Dee Sagawe
I am a Biological Sciences major entering my final year at ASU. My research interests are animal diseases, and the interactions between environmental pollution and diseases. A few years ago, I took marine biology at another institution and was instantly fascinated by the creatures of the ocean, therefore, I now focus on diseases and parasites affecting fishes and sea turtles. In September 2011, I found Dr. Leah Gerber’s lab, and have been attending lab meetings ever since. Currently, I am working on a sea turtle project with Jesse Senko, a Ph.D. student in the Gerber lab. During my final year at ASU, I will be taking elective courses specializing in immunology, virology, bacteriology, and laboratory techniques. After graduating from ASU, I am going to pursue a Ph.D. in biology related to the pathology of marine organisms.
