Working from sunrise to sundown is the daily grind this semester for Ph.D. biology researcher and instructor Madhumita Paul, 31, who originally hails from Calcutta, India. Paul transferred from the University of Arkansas to the University Memphis just two years ago.
It is around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday on Nov. 27 and Paul is already in the wet lab in the Life and Sciences building, and into a series of experiments making observations about how viruses attack the brain protein known as synemin creating potentially cancerous brain tumors.
