Sanduni Deenalattha

Graduate Student
sdeenalattha2@huskers.unl.edu

Sanduni is from Sri Lanka. Her research focuses on characterizing 3D RNA structural features using chemical probing methods. Outside the lab, she enjoys cooking, experimenting with different cuisines, and watching TV shows. A fun fact about Sanduni is that she knows almost every restaurant in Lincoln, making her a go-to guide for food recommendations.

Sakshi Jain

Graduate Student
sjain5@huskers.unl.edu

Sakshi was born and raised in Delhi, India. She studies the thermodynamics and stability of RNA kissing loops using chemical probing. When she’s not in the lab, she enjoys a bit of doom-scrolling on shopping websites. Fun fact: she can do both a headstand and a handstand.
