Join Our Lab!

What enables some cells to survive stress while others fail? How does a multicellular organism coordinate the activities of millions of cells to balance growth, defense, and survival? Are cells locked into predetermined identities, or can they be reprogrammed to acquire new functions? What makes a pathogen successful in overcoming host systemic immunity?

If questions like these excite you, our lab may be the right place for you.

We are looking for curious and motivated students who are eager to tackle fundamental biological questions using modern approaches in cell biology, genetics, imaging, genomics, and computational biology. Our research environment emphasizes creativity, collaboration, scientific rigor, and professional development while encouraging students to develop independence, curiosity, critical thinking, and the confidence to ask challenging questions and pursue their own scientific interests.

Whether you are an undergraduate exploring research for the first time or a graduate student seeking to address important biological problems, we encourage you to reach out and learn more about opportunities in the lab.

We are always excited to welcome enthusiastic students who are driven by curiosity and a passion for discovery.
