Less than two years ago, Hima Bodagala was studying intensively as a medical student in Antigua. Now a scientist, others will intensively study her own work.

Bodagala, a Clinical Sciences student at American University of Antigua (AUA), co-authored a paper exploring one model of how insufficient blood flow can cause cerebral tissue damage. The paper details the results of research she conducted along with a Johns Hopkins University research team while a visiting scholar at that school. Bodagala had previously presented these results last fall at the Society for Neuroscience 40th Annual Meeting.
