Kayla Lum

Hello!

My name is Kayla Lum, and I am a junior at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biology and am part of the Honors Program as a Regents Scholar.

After my undergraduate studies, I want to attend medical school for allopathic medicine. I joined the Prišić Lab to gain valuable research experience that will help me continue research as a medical student.

Currently, I am working on cloning a plasmid with the genes, Rv1806-1807, from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome and evaluating transformation efficiency of Bacillus subtilis grown in media with and without zinc.
