URS Conference Stories: Margarita Krylova

MK conference

This Spring semester, Margarita Krylova (2026) used a URS Conference Grant to attend and present at the National Collegiate Research Conference.

At the conference, Margarita presented her project which explores how the enzyme SMARCAL1 provides potential theurapetic benefits in glioblastoma cells. Margarita's project was mentored under the guidance of Dr. Matthew Waitkus

"Attending Harvard’s annual National Collegiate Research Conference provided me with invaluable insights into my research,"  Margarita reflected to URS. "Presenting my work allowed me to engage with peers and experts in my field, exposing me to diverse approaches and outcomes in glioblastoma (GBM) research."
