Chris is currently a research assistant in the lab and plans to graduate in 2023. He is working on a project to identify the genes in D. melanogaster that cause a non-monotonic response to atrazine.
Victoria was a senior thesis student in the lab and graduated in 2022. Her project examined the effects of atrazine on male D. melanogaster mating competition and offspring production. Victoria is now a research assistant in the Maimon Lab at Rockefeller University.
Rachel was a senior thesis student in the lab and graduated in 2022. Her project focused on the effects of atrazine and yeast concentration on D. melanogaster longevity. Rachel is now attending graduate school at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Tashoy was a senior thesis student in the lab and graduated in 2021. Her work focused on identifying the neurons in the fly brain that expressed the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit, alpha 1.
