We’re looking forward to sharing our latest research at the International Zebrafish Conference here in Madison this week! Friday morning, check out Cara’s talk “A novel role for the chromosomal passenger complex in germ plasm aggregation during early development” and Christina’s talk “Structured aggregation of germline determinants in the early embryo” in Shannon Hall. And on Saturday night, swing by Ryan & Trevor’s poster “Systematically investigating isSCNT boundaries in the Danio genus” in the Great Hall.
Congratulations to grad student Christina Hansen for passing her oral prelim exam – this means that she has officially earned a masters degree in Genetics and advanced to PhD dissertator status!
Congratulations to our undergraduate researchers Jacky Lor and Monica Selvaraj for being awarded summer research funding! Jacky won a prestigious Hilldale Research Fellowship, and Monica received a WISCIENCE Research Program scholarship. We look forward to having them both in lab this summer!
We’re excited to welcome two new grad students to the lab: Trevor Chamberlain from the Genetics PhD Program & Ryan Trevena from the Endocrinology & Reproductive Physiology PhD Program!
Best wishes to Elaine Welch in her new position as an Associate Human Molecular Geneticist at Prevention Genetics!
Congratulations to grad student Christina Hansen for passing the Genetics written prelim exam and scoring high enough to achieve the honor of “Passing with Distinction”!
Best wishes to Celeste Eno as she moves on to the next stage in her career as a Laboratory Genetics & Genomics Fellow at UCLA!
