I’m a PhD candidate, studying the role of m6a modification in the regulation of HCMV and the type I interferon response. Before grad school, I was a tech assisting in studying antibody responses to HIV vaccines in the Krebs lab at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and a technician studying glucose uptake inhibition during catecholamine signaling in adipocytes in the Harris lab at the University of Virginia. I am a Mariah Carey stan and am often seen dancing salsa during incubation times.

I am a PhD candidate studying how HSV-1 infection affects the biophysical properties of the nucleus, using a novel micro-rheological technology called GEMs. I started college at University of Wisconsin—Madison, as part of the 9th cohort of the First Wave Hip Hop & Urban Arts program, where I began doing research in Dr. Bill Sugden’s lab working on Epstein-Barr virus. I graduated from Rutgers University in 2019, with a B.A. in Cell Biology & Neuroscience, and certificates in Comparative Literature and Russian language. Some fun facts about me are: I am from Alaska, I am from Alaska, and I am from Alaska!

I’m a PhD candidate interested in the mechanisms governing mRNA translation in HCMV infected cells. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in Molecular & Cell Biology in 2017. Before beginning graduate school, I researched mechanisms underlying stem cell pluripotency at the Gladstone Institutes. Outside of lab, I enjoy trying local restaurants, watching motorsports, and admiring horological innovations.

I’m a postdoc and interested in virus-host interactions at the molecular level. I’ll be studying the impact of RNA modifications on viral latency and reactivation. My major fascinations aside from science are languages and pretty shoes.

I’m a PhD candidate, studying the role of the m6a modification’s writers, readers, and erasers. Before grad school, I graduated from Pennsylvania State University for my BS. There, I used Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detection to analyze cannabinoids and other volatile molecules from cannabis, with the ultimate goal of improving current analysis methods for that drug. Now in NYC, I’m a huge Broadway fan, foodie, city explorer, and I enjoy riding the Citi bikes around town.

I’m a Research Technician in the Mohr and Wilson labs, and I’m currently studying the role of m6A readers in the regulation of Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1) gene expression. I enjoy traveling, music, and playing the Guitar.

I am a Research Technician in the Mohr/Wilson Lab. I am studying the process of HSV-1 viral reactivation in human and rat neuronal models. I received by B.S. from Northwestern University, where I studied proteomic deficits in Alzheimer’s Disease in mouse models. Outside of lab, I am a big New York Rangers fan and a big Taylor Swift fan

I am a postdoc in the Mohr and Wilson labs, studying how RNA modifications impact transcriptional regulation during herpesvirus infections. I have always been fascinated by persistent viruses, and have previously worked with polyomaviruses. Outside of the lab, I enjoy music in any kind of way (dancing, singing, playing the guitar). I love being by the sea and a perfect stay at the beach should always include some surfing sessions.
