Yeraldi Loera

Yeraldi's research in the Bonisoli-Alquati lab focuses on the effects of ionizing radiation on mutation rates. She has been analyzing variation in mutation rates among studies through a meta-analysis of the published literature. She is also investigating mutations in barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) parents and offspring from radioactively contaminated sites in Fukushima, by using microsatellite analysis (before going into higher resolution SNP genotyping.)

​She entered Cal Poly Pomona's Master's program in Biological Sciences in Spring 2017, after graduating from Occidental College December 2016 with a degree in Biology. She is part of the NIH-MBRS RISE Program, as well as the MENTORES program, and was a recipient of the Rachel Carson Scholarship at Cal Poly Pomona in 2017

Interested in joining the lab?

I'm always interested in talking about the research interests of undergraduate and prospective graduate (MSc) students, and their potential to join the lab. New opportunities frequently arise, so feel free to get in touch. However, before you do that have a look at my research interests, and the list of publications, to form a sense of the type of research that we conduct in the lab, and if it matches your own interests.
