Lumiere Research Scholar Presentations: Viha Kothakonda [Summer 2025]

In this Lumiere Research Scholar Presentation, Viha Kothakonda, a summer 2025 scholar, presents their research paper they worked on. Viha is a current senior attending Nutley High School interested in pursuing scientific research in the field of genetics. With the Lumiere Research Program, she brought her interests to life as she developed a research paper focusing on genetic factors and family history that affects an individual's inheritance of Huntington's Disease. Her research focuses on how a repeat of a mutation may play a role in the risk of developing the disease and the affect this has on the age of onset of HD, how certain socioeconomic variables and environmental factors may affect the inheritance of the disease, and discussed how a predictive testing study played a role in shaping a view on the way these factors correlate with one another to play a role in HD severity. Through this research, she has conveyed a perspective on gaps in current research and possible future directions for the Huntington's research field.
