Mariana successfully defended her MPH thesis, "CG Dinucleotide Codon Removal Improves Expression of HIV-1 Reporter Viruses in Humanized Mice," in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology in the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health!

She worked hard to get great data while finishing a heavy graduate course load and her practicum as well as having multiple jobs. Her committee members, Drs. Jeremy Martinson and Robbie Mailliard, were very enthusiastic and we thank them for their advice.  Well done, Mariana!!
