Senior🎓
Top SchoolUmanga Poudel is a research-focused scientist with 8 years of hands-on experience in developmental and translational biology, currently investigating mechanical forces in lung alveolar development at UT Southwestern Medical Center. She combines in vivo mouse models, immunohistochemistry for both paraffin and frozen sections, and physiological injury modeling (FlexiVent) to probe signaling pathways that govern alveolar cell homeostasis. Her prior roles include graduate and teaching assistantships where she developed protocols, supervised mouse husbandry across multiple transgenic lines, and taught undergraduate microbiology and physiology labs. Skilled in experimental troubleshooting and lab management, she also mentors junior researchers and maintains operational continuity through ordering and protocol development. Outside the wet lab, she experiments with data science, machine learning, and generative AI projects on GitHub, indicating a growing computational edge to her biological research. Based in Dallas, she brings a multidisciplinary perspective rooted in neuroscience and human biology training from IUPUI and Kathmandu University.
