I am originally from Lonoke, Arkansas, and I majored in Biology as an undergraduate at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. From there I studied regulation of type III protein secretion systems with Dr. Olaf Schneewind at the University of Chicago before attending graduate school at the Yale University School of Medicine where I worked with Dr. Derek Toomre in the CINEMA lab to explore regulation of polarized membrane trafficking during cell division, cell migration, and wound healing using a variety of advanced microscopic approaches. Before joining the faculty at Wellesley College, I was a post-doctoral associate with Dr. Thomas Pollard at Yale University studying protein localization and signaling pathways involved in the regulation of cytokinesis. When not in the lab I enjoy running, cooking/baking, fishing, and gardening with my two children.
I am from Ansonia, CT, and I am a prospective Biochemistry and Political Science double major. In the Goss lab, I assist with conducting cellular and molecular research in order to analyze Type 2 node proteins and NDR-family kinase localization during cytokinesis in fission yeast. Outside of the lab I engage in cultivating community through Bangladeshi Student Association (Vice President), Class Council (Treasurer), and College Government (Senator and Committee Member). In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, reading, and writing.
I am from Winchester, Massachusetts and I am a Biochemistry Major. In the Goss Lab, I am using Atomic Force Microscopy to quantify the impact of glucan synthases and crosslinkers on fission yeast cell wall stiffness. On campus, I am on the e-board of the Wellesley College Chemistry Society, currently serving as Publicity Chair. Outside of Wellesley, I enjoy drawing, reading, and watching some of my favorite sports teams.
I am a Biology major from Queens, New York conducting research in the Goss Lab on the molecular mechanisms of cytokinesis in fission yeast. My work focuses on evaluating the function and expression of contractile ring proteins using genetic manipulation and fluorescence microscopy. On campus I'm involved with the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program. Outside of Wellesley, I'm the co-founder of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Friendly Initiative, which promotes accessibility and inclusion. In my free time, I enjoy reading, walking the lake path, swimming, and snowboarding.
I am a Biological Sciences and Psychology double major from Great Neck, New York. In the Goss Lab I study how interphase node proteins help Sid2 localize to the contracile ring in S. pombe cells using fluorescence confocal microscopy. On campus I play viola in the Brandeis-Wellesley Orchestra and tap dance in the Wellesley OnTap troupe. I enjoy hanging out with friends, playing the LinkedIn games, and teaching at the Child Study Center. Outside of campus, I volunteer as a Crisis Counselor for Crisis Text Line (CTL).
I am a biochemistry major and psychology minor from Princeton, New Jersey. My work in the Goss lab focuses on the study of interphase nodes and regulation of cytokinesis in fission yeast. On campus, I tutor for the chemistry, biology, and music departments, and I am a member of Freestyle (Wellesley's hip-hop dance team). In the summer, I do biomedical research on pulmonary vascular disease through the Vascular Medicine Institute at the University of Pittsburgh. I fill my free time with lots of cooking, dancing, and learning to play new instruments!
I am from Pasadena, California and I am a Biochemistry Major and Computer Science minor. In the Goss lab I am using fluorescence microscopy to investigate interphase nodes and contractile ring formation in fission yeast. On campus I am a researcher in the Laboratory for Ethics and Equity in Digital Technology (LEED) and a tutor for the Computer Science Department. Outside of Wellesley, I am the Whole Genome Sequencing Intern at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and an Impact Fellow at Schoolhouse.world. Personally, I am a reader, a big fan of Formula One, and enjoy nannying my little gremlins.
