Derica Cartwright

Derica Cartwright received her bachelors in cellular and molecular biology in the spring of 2019 and began working as a clinical research assistant for the Bateman lab team shortly after. She was drawn to the team by her interest in cellular processes and disease biomarkers. She is currently working on the SEABIRD project, which is a study that seeks to validate a blood test for Alzheimer’s disease while taking a special look at the biomarker amyloid beta. She is also involved in the cataloging of the samples collected for the SEABIRD study via the use of a composite sample organization program entitled FreezerWorks.
