  • We are thrilled to share that Manny has been named a 2025 Quad Fellow! The Quad Fellowship is a prestigious multinational program supported by the governments of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States that supports exceptional STEM graduate students and fosters international collaboration. Congratulations, Manny!

  • We were delighted to have Laura join the lab this summer as a CMBS scholar. She concluded her research internship with a strong presentation at the CMBS Closing Symposium. The lab celebrated her time with us over a lunch outing, and we wish Laura the very best as she moves on to her next chapter.

  • Ruiling walked the graduation stage a few months ago, but today it truly became official with her successful thesis defense. We are so excited to celebrate this milestone. Congratulations, Dr. Ruiling Zhong! 🎉

  • Manny, Ruiling, and Sherlyn traveled to California this past week to represent the Richardson Lab at the International Worm Conference 2025 (#Worm25) at UC Davis. Ruiling presented a talk, while Manny and Sherlyn presented posters, all of which sparked interest and lively discussion among attendees. A highlight of the meeting was an engaging panel discussion featuring 2024 Nobel Laureate Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun.

  • Laura presented the plan for her summer research project at the CMBS poster session and enthusiastically discussed her ideas with many attendees and other presenters! It was exciting to see her engagement and to learn about the diverse projects from other summer students.

  • We’re excited to welcome Laura Sanchez to the lab this summer as a Cellular and Molecular Biology of Stress (CMBS) Summer Research Scholar! She’ll be working with Sherlyn on an independent research project—looking forward to a great summer of science and mentorship ahead!
