Matters of the Heart: OSU undergraduate’s research journey from California dreaming to cardiology breakthroughs
When Angelique Robinson transferred to Oklahoma State University from a tiny junior college in rural California, she had no idea she’d end up performing heart surgery on mice. Today, Robinson is working on four active research projects, including a groundbreaking heart regeneration study in neonatal mice under assistant professor Dr. Jiyoung Bae. She was just 19 when Bae, newly arrived on campus, invited Robinson to perform the complex surgeries herself.
