Ifeoma Azinge joined the Chudasama lab in September 2023 as a graduate student, part of the Brown University-NIH Graduate Partnership Program (GPP). She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, obtaining a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in biology.
