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!
