Aleeza is originally from Massachusetts. She graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering and a minor in biology. Her prior research focused on glial cell response under shear stress. She is now interested in how aging influences stem cell based tissue regeneration during spaceflight which can ultimately be translated and applied to cellular and molecular mechanisms on the ground. Outside of lab, she likes running, painting, and shopping.
