Olivia Warriner
Graduate student, PhD program, Biochemistry
I am a graduate student in biochemistry at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I am currently researching the function and mechanism of the HCMV RL11 protein UL6. I earned a Bachelor of Science in both chemistry and biochemistry from South Dakota State University, where I contributed to organic synthesis research in Dr. Halaweish's lab. Upon completing my graduate studies, I plan to transition into industry.
