  • Excited to have Gabe Philips and Ivan Wang join the lab and contribute to our research! Gabe and Ivan will be working with Sherlyn.

  • We are grateful to have had Frankie in the lab this summer as a CMBS scholar! She wrapped up her research internship with an impressive presentation at the CMBS Closing Symposium. To celebrate her contributions and bid her farewell, the lab enjoyed a lunch outing together. Wishing Frankie all the best in her future endeavors!

  • Thrilled to welcome Qiyue (Helen) Ying, an undergraduate Genetics and Genomics major, to the lab!

  • Big news–Our lab was awarded an NIH R35 grant from NIGMS!

  • Our lab had a strong presence at the back-to-back 2024 MAPSS (Metabolism, Aging, Pathogenesis, Stress, and Small RNAs in C. elegans) and CeNeuro (C. elegans Topic Meeting: Neuronal Development, Synaptic Function & Behavior)! Sherlyn and Nikita presented posters at both conferences, Ruiling presented a poster at MAPSS and gave an oral talk at CeNeuro, and Sophia showcased her work at MAPSS–where she also won the Best Presenter Award. Congrats, Sophia!
