Wood Hudson Student to Present at National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium 
Sarisha Lohano has been selected to present at the National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium on February 18th & 19th, 2022. Her Wood Hudson UREP summer research project is entitled "How Obesity Alters Metabolism and Impairs Immune Function, Contributing to Initiation of Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer." Sarisha prosposed a study to follow the eating habits of five BMI categories each in six ethnic groups. Her proposal suggests that diets resembling a 'Western Diet' will lead to higher weight and BMI, resulting in lower resting metabolic rate and metabolic syndrome (altering metabolism), and an abnormal amount of immunoglobulin (impairing immune function). Overall, this is expected to lead to a higher risk for early-onset CRC. Sarisha willl give an oral presentation at the University of Louisville in the category of Medicine & Health/Behavioral Science. Sarisha is a student at Western Kentucky University.
