Kendall was just awarded the George Hugh Boyd Memorial Scholarship! Congrats to Kendall - this is a very well deserved honor!
Rachel named to Lois K. Miller Professorship
Rachel was recently named the inaugural Lois K. Miller Professor in Cellular Biology. This named professorship honors Dr. Lois K. Miller, a former faculty member at UGA who was a NAS member. Her biography can be found here. What a remarkable scientist - we are so thrilled to honor her memory and legacy with our work over the coming years.
The lab surprised me with cake and a tiara!
Welcome to new lab members!
Our lab has grown by a few folks this semester, even as we have seen a few undergraduate students complete theses and move on to new adventures (we miss them already!).
Ph.D. students Camila and Jazmine are joining us from the ILS program at UGA. Camila has joined the Department of Cellular Biology and Jazmine has joined the Neuroscience Program. We are currently working on project ideas and excited to send them off into their thesis projects!
PREP (post-bacc) student Saraí is joining us for the semester as well, which she will balance with interviews for her Ph.D. programs. She will work with technician Chris on signals important for regeneration.
And Raul is joining our excellent undergraduate team. He will be mentored by Kendall and will focus on identifying proteins important for synapse formation in planarians.
Welcome all! :)
IDP Season!
It’s one of my favorite times of the year - when we focus on Individual Development Plans. The conversations about goal setting are sometimes challenging but always fun and rewarding!
Stem Cell Biology - New course!
It’s a new semester and Rachel is teaching a new class — Stem Cell Biology (CBIO4320/6320)! The first day was great and I’m looking foward to teaching a smaller seminar-style class that is literature based!
