Meet Mohona

I'm a postdoc at UCSF decoding how cilia — the cell's antennae — translate microscopic signals into life-changing decisions. My work spans the retina to the kidney, uncovering how this 5-micron organelle shapes human health. From understanding how photoreceptors detect light to preventing kidney cyst formation, I explore the fascinating intersection of cellular biology and human disease.
