At UC Davis, Celina Juliano studies Hydra, a tiny freshwater animal with the remarkable ability to regrow its entire body. Supported by NIH-funding, Juliano’s lab explores the genes behind Hydra’s regeneration and cancer resistance.

We are so proud of @azucena-virgen.bsky.social - Juliano lab undergraduate researcher and MARC scholar who recently won a prestigious Goldwater Scholarship! An excellent example of the talented young scientists we are fighting for. biology.ucdavis.edu/news/cbs-stu...
