What is your academic background? What research experience did you have before grad school?
I received a BA in Biochemistry: Cell and Molecular Biology from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa in 2014. I did a lot of internships at different plant...
Our team seeks to understand how molecular & cellular signaling dynamics are spatially controlled in tissue, and how they can be therapeutically manipulated to treat disease.
We focus on inflammation and cancer, and combine an interdisciplinary...
One million human genomes, will it make a difference? The large and growing volume of genome information, from all forms of life, presents unprecedented opportunities for computational biologists. The challenge for our scientific generation is to turn an...
What is your academic background? What research experience did you have before grad school?
I majored in Math/Statistics. Before grad school I worked on engineering plants to be more resistant to disease and climate change using a mix of experimental...
My lab studies the interplay between the gut microbiome and the immune system and how their “miscues” can lead to autoimmune diseases, particularly type 1 diabetes. As a 2013 BBS grad, I understand what it takes to have a successful Ph.D. experience.
The...
A major area of our interest is how eukaryotic cells sense and respond to stress in the form of damage to their genetic material. When cells incur DNA damage, they induce the transcription of genes involved in cell cycle arrest and repair of the damage...
