A great team of students already in the lab

Two students joined my lab this semester. Hilary Street is a M.Sc. student in the TCBES graduate program at UH-Hilo who will be studying humpback whale genetics. Her primary supervisor is Dr. Adam Pack, and her committee includes myself and Dr. Don Price. This semester she is working with me on a directed research project to start preliminary characterization of candidate gene diversity in local whale populations. Rachel Gorenflo is an undergraduate student who plans to go on to med school. She has been learning molecular lab techniques (such as DNA extraction, PCR, and gel electrophoresis), while helping me prepare for my teaching labs.
