Graduate Students
Gift (Tanaporn) Wangsanut
Gift joined the Department of Biology PhD program in the Fall of 2013 and has recently joined the Rolfes lab. She completed her undergraduate studies in three years, earning a BS in Biology from the University of Virginia. At UVA, Gift was a member of Dr. George Bloom's lab, working on mechanisms that might trigger Alzheimer's Disease. She enjoys exploring the molecular and cellular aspects of cell behavior and transcriptional control. After completing her PhD degree, Gift plans to return to her native Thailand and become a professor.
In her spare time, Gift loves to cook, especially Thai food! She also loves to explore the new restaurants and various types of food.
Congratulations to Gift! She is the co-first author of a paper on the role of the Grf10 homeodomain-containing transcription factor that was published in FEMS Yeast Research in December of 2015 and now the sole first author of a second paper on genetic regulation of adenylate and one carbon metabolism in Candida albicans, that was published in mSphere!
