Fellows

Research Interest: Rebecca is interested in the role of FMO-2 and neuropeptide pathways in a C. elegans model of dietary-mediated longevity.

rebeccco@umich.edu

Research Interest:  Nathan is interested in the effects of electroshock treatment on fear conditioning behavior, neural activity and gene expression.

nhorrell@umich.edu

Research Interest: Molly is interested in studying outer segment growth in photoreceptors. 

mttho@umich.edu

Research Interest: Ramiah is interested in the factors that shape our immune response in obesity, especially the relationship between adipose tissue T cells (ATTs) and the adipose tissue microenvironment.  

rdjacks@umich.edu

Research Interest: Vanessa is interested in how neural networks are built and modified by experience, focusing on cellular, molecular, and/or genetic mechanisms driven the stochastic patterning of these olfactory associative learning circuitsin the developing Drosophila melanogaster.

vmpunal@umich.edu

Research Interest:  Sonya is interested in the immune factors influencing diabetic wound healing,  examining the role of keratinocytes in shaping the macrophage inflammatory profile in diabetic wounds in order to develop novel targets for treatment. 

sonwolf@umich.edu

Research Interest: Lauren is studying how the sequence of actin effects its structure and dynamics through the use of both accelerated and conventional molecular dynamics.  She is also interested in the consequences of point mutations within actin’s pathogenic helix (residues 1135-125).

Research Interest: Elizabeth is interested in characterizing protein-driven spliceosome rearrangements that govern splice site selection during mature RNA production.
