About Me

My name is Saranya Lamba, a second year molecular genetics major at The Ohio State University. I intend to pursue research in cancer genetics and attend graduate school to ultimately become a genetic counselor. I am excited to conduct undergraduate research and dive deeper into topics that interest me, as well as join extracurriculars that are related to my major. I am looking forward to meeting new people that share my interests and are just as passionate about genetics as I am!
