Iqra Ahmad – Iqra is a sophomore who joined lab as an intrepid freshman. She is currently wreaking havoc on a biochemical pathway in H. pylori that creates acetyl phosphate to see the effects on gene expression mediated by TCS’s. Although she claims she wants to go to medical school, sources tell me her inner most ambition is to create a lab band dedicated to ancient jingles of 1960’s TV commercials

Joanna He – Joanna is a sophomore in our lab. Her projects span the role of DNA methylation on the expression of a small regulatory RNA molecule and the computational aspect of methylome sequence data mining Joanna has a secret longing for the theater and will one day have a featured role in an off-Broadway screen play mash up of Cats and the Pirates of Penzance!

Anjali Krishnan. Anjali is a sophomore Biology major in her first year in our lab.Her project involves the role of lysine acetylation in the functioning of a Helicobacter transcription factor. Fun fact; Anjali is assembling a band that plays hip hop music with bassoons and tubas!

Yarik Posnyak. Yarik is a junior CAMS (Computational and Applied Mathmatics and Statistics) major/Pre-Medical student in his third year in our lab. Yarik is a charter member of our bioinformatic/methylomics team

Allison Hubbell. Allison is a junior in the lab and her project examines the role of acetylation of a transcription factor on the levels of mRNA for affected genes.

Jonah Spotts. A sophomore in the lab, Jonah is currently weighing his potential options for projects

Zoe Lorenz. Zoe is a junior Biology major/Pre-Medical student in her second year in our lab.Her project involves the role of nitric oxide in the expression of a Helicobacter outer membrane protein.
