Bo Price is a graduate student in the Hughes Lab at the University of Utah Biochemistry Department. The Hughes lab studies organelle homeostasis in response to metabolic stresses. Bo’s focus is understanding a newly described morphological adaptation that occurs on the surface of mitochondria called Mitochondrial Derived Compartment (MDC) formation. He is determining the metabolic signaling pathway required for MDC formation to elucidate their role in the mitochondrial stress response. Bo has always been an advocate for programs that aim to educate and encourage involvement with STEM. He hopes to use his new skills from the STEM Ambassador Program to conduct and lead outreach and recruitment activities in his future scientific career. Bo’s hobbies with his family include hiking, snowboarding, stargazing, road trips, museums, and strategy games.
