Jocelyn graduated from the University of Southern California with a BA in Economics. She rediscovered her interest in science while working in Dr. Sergey Nuzhdin’s lab in undergrad, looking at the rhizobia-legume symbiosis in Medicago truncatula. Prior to joining the Ndhlovu lab, she worked in Dr. Michelle Tallquist’s lab studying embryonic cardiac fibroblasts, specifically the bi-potential nature of cardiac fibroblast stem cells and knockout models of Tcf21 lineage fibroblasts. Jocelyn’s current research focuses on the role and impact of exosomes on monocyte function and behavior.


Research Interest: Exosomes, Monocytes, Flow cytometry, Immunology, Pediatric HIV, HIV, NeuroHIV, Infectious Disease, Cardiovascular disease, Developmental Biology


Fun Fact: In her free time, Jocelyn enjoys traveling, going to the beach, and spending time with family and friends. She also has a Diet Coke and sheepadoodle obsession.
