Lab: Hsu Lab

Mackenzie Harrigan organizes the monthly DRB Data Club.
In the Hsu lab, Mackenzie studies how sex hormones regulate skin structure/function and also aims to identify mechanisms to delay ovarian aging. 
Outside of the lab, Mackenzie loves to boulder, run, bake, and spend time with her roommates Ringo the cat and Daniel the human!

Allie Goldstein
