Postdoctoral Fellows
We are currently recruiting highly motivated postdoctoral fellows with a fellowship to join our team. If interested, please contact Christiane Wobus (cwobus@umich.edu) with CV, three references and reason for your interest in the lab.
Graduate Students
Andres Rivera Ruiz finished his B.S. in Chemistry back home in Puerto Rico before coming to the University of Michigan to join the Microbiology & Immunology PhD program. He joined the Wobus Lab in March 2022 to study astrovirus biology and the interaction between astroviruses and commensal bacteria in the gut utilizing biopsy-derived intestinal organoids. His passions outside the lab include science communication, tennis, language learning, listening to podcasts and trying new restaurants around Ann Arbor.
Adam Hafner completed his B.S in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Michigan State University before coming to the Microbiology and Immunology PhD program at the University of Michigan. He joined the Wobus Lab in March 2022 to study the molecular mechanisms behind metabolic rewiring of host cells during norovirus infection. Outside of lab he enjoys riding his motorcycle, playing video games, cooking, watching new shows, and trying various restaurants in the Ann Arbor area.
Rose Fialeseshie is an exchange student from Ghana. She is a graduate student (MPhil) studying Biochemistry at the University of Ghana and currently performing research in the Wobus lab. Her research is focused on investigating the pathogenesis and immune response modulation of murine norovirus. Outside academics she enjoys reading, biking, hiking and cooking.
LAB MANAGER
Wynter Kell Carnahan (née Kelly Carnahan) earned her B.A. in Chemical Engineering from Tufts University and her M.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Michigan, where she studied tissue engineering and drug delivery. She joined the Wobus lab in 2018 as a research technician. She is helping the lab to stay organized and functioning smootly.
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHERS
Ameer Almeshagbeh is majoring in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology on the Pre-med track at the University of Michigan. He is from Doha, Qatar, and joined the Wobus lab in July 2024. He is eager to learn more about immunology and astroviruses and hopes to contribute to research within the field of immunology.
Olivia Jackson is a sophomore majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in American Culture. Olivia joined the lab in Fall of 2026 and hopes to learn more about immune responses and immunology research. She is hoping to get a PhD in pathology but in her free time she enjoys bouldering, hiking, reading and playing IM sports.
