Why Research Wednesday: Aamna's Story


Aamna Soniwala is a sophomore majoring in Human Health (on the pre-dental track) with a minor in Sociology. URP's Research Ambassador Arielle Segal had the pleasure of interviewing Aamna about her research experiences. Here it is: 

What research do you do on campus? How long have you been doing it?

“I work under Dr. K.M. Venkat Narayan with Dr. Jithin Varghese in the Hubert Department of Global Health at Rollins – specifically within the Emory Global Diabetes Research Center. I started during my second semester of my first year, researching global health equity in diabetes precision medicine.”


How did you get started in your research?

“I took HLTH 210 last spring, and Dr. Narayan was one of our asynchronous guest lecturers. I felt that I resonated with his values and research, so I reached out to him and started working with a post-doctoral fellow, Dr. Varghese.”


How has research impacted your undergraduate career?

“Research has allowed me to grow as a critical thinker and problem solver. I have developed so many useful skills – data analysis, literature review, etc. Fostering a deeper understanding of my research topic has opened the door to so many professional opportunities. For example, I’m going to San Diego this summer to present a poster at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions!”


Who has been your biggest advisor while being a researcher? How did they help you grow as a researcher?

“My biggest advisor has been Dr. Varghese! He has committed a lot of time to mentoring me, meeting with me over the summer and familiarizing me with dry-lab methods that I was initially lost on. He guided me in writing my ADA abstract and manuscript, and without his help, our project would not be so successful!”


How do you plan to use research throughout the rest of your studies and into a career?

“I hope to attend dental school in the future. While my research technically has nothing to do with dentistry, the skills I’m using and developing through undergraduate research will be super essential to a career in healthcare.”


What is one thing you wish you knew before starting research?

“One thing I wish I knew was that not all research has to be the traditional biology wet lab that people typically think of when it comes to undergraduate lab work. A lot of public health research is focused on data analysis, rather than using laboratory skills and running experiments, which I didn’t really know going into my research project. Regardless, all types of research have something unique and fulfilling to offer, and I’m glad I went the route I did!”

Pop-Up Books used to ease Child Patients' Anxiety

  Holly Cordray   is a senior majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. She was awarded a Fall 2020 Independent Grant which she used to conduct research at Children's Healthcare Atlanta. My name is Holly Cordray, and I am a senior in the Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Honors Program.  Collaborating with Dr. Kara Prickett, a pediatric ENT surgeon at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, I am currently running a 150-patient clinical trial of an interactive resource I developed for pediatric patient education: an educational pop-up book for children facing surgery.  I began this project in 2019 with the support of the SURE program and my mentor in the Art History department, Dr. Tasha Dobbin-Bennett.  I wanted to build a resource that would engage children in active learning through hands-on features like flaps, wheels, and pull-tabs, equipping patients with understanding and positive coping strategies as they prepare for surgery.  I am hoping this ready-made resource will bec

A Whole New World of Research

Monica Vemulapalli is a junior majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. She was awarded a Spring 2019 Conference Grant which she used to attend the Experimental Biology Conference . When I found out that my first ever research conference was going to be in my hometown of Orlando, Florida, I was excited! I knew that having an unfamiliar event happen at a very familiar place would make me less anxious. However, the conference turned out to be less stressful and more interesting than I ever thought. I attended  Experimental Biology (EB)  and   presented  my very first research poster , a memory that I will definitely cherish forever.
