ABOUT LILY ARONOV
Research Associate and Lab Manager at the Satija Lab. 2024 Binghamton University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Neuroscience. Driven, enthusiastic, and perpetually curious scientist who values teamwork, creative problem solving, and innovation. Always striving to keep learning and growing, both in and out of the lab. 🧠Interested in the intersection of genomics, epigenomics and neuroscience; understanding neurobiological phenomena through examination of gene expression, regulatory mechanisms, and cell type variation. 🤝I am most passionate about working with others to create positive learning experiences and forging genuine connections. I firmly believe that collaboration and open exchange of ideas are the key catalysts of scientific progress - and I love to meet new people - so let’s connect!
