Sofiya Eliachova

Sofiya Eliachova is a student at Hunter College majoring in chemistry with a concentration on biochemistry and a minor in art history. She is part of the Yalow Honors and Thomas Hunter Honors programs at Hunter. Sofiya hopes to one day become a physician-scientist and has been exploring those interests, for example by studying DNA in a microbiology lab. From a young age she has been interested in neuroscience. With the opportunity provided by the SCGB Undergraduate Research Fellowship program, and with the supervision of researchers in the Movshon Lab, she will broaden her own knowledge of the field.
