Congratulations Sophie, who defended an excellent honors college thesis today. Pictured here with her mentor, Beth.
Welcome Michelle, a graduate rotation student who is working with Stevie on modeling scoliosis using zebrafish.
Max is a neuroscientist who is rotating in the lab. He is working with Sam on cell polarity and cilia.
Dan, Sam and Stevie drive up to the San Juan’s for the conference where Stevie and Sam both give posters and Dan gives a talk on the labs scoliosis work.
Sam, Beth and John (pictured here with Jeff Farrell) attend the TAGC meeting in Washington where Beth gave a talk and Sam a poster. Good job!
University of Oregon undergraduate student Calvin joins the lab to work with Sam on cilia function in development. Welcome!
Luke is an undergraduate student support by a fellowship from the Knight Campus. He will work with John to understand spine shape.
Beth and others in the lab put together a protocol to describe how to visualize the zebrafish skeleton using micro-computed tomography and freely-available software.
John, Zoe and Beth attended the Zebrafish Disease Models meeting in Durham, NC, and John won a poster award. Congratulations!
Congratulations to Sam for winning the Adamson award and Gabriel for winning the von Hippel award, given to outstanding junior and senior graduate students in our department, respectively.
We say goodbye and good luck to Bryson, a research technician who worked in the lab for two years. We will miss him!
Samara is a rotation student who will work with Gabriel on left-right patterning. Welcome!
High school student Adamend joins the lab. He will work with Beth to quantify images.
Two new graduate students — Sam Bertrand and Stevie Schauer join the lab.
After two years, we’re sad to see Maisey go. She defended an excellent thesis and is pictured here with Katie, her lab mentor.
He had a great time meeting his cohort and presenting his work in Chevy Chase.
in Friday Harbor labs. Everyone presents posters and Beth wins a talk prize - congratulations!
..from the Genetics Society of America. Congratulations Zoe!
Congratulations to John, who passed his qualifying exam with flying colors and is now a full PhD candidate.
Beth presents her Urotensin work at the ASCB meeting in Washington DC.
First author Beth and colleagues show the role for Urp1 and Urp2 peptides in zebrafish spine morphology, providing insights into human spinal curvature.
Gabriel attends SACNAS in Puerto Rico to talk about grad school at UO while Sophie (pictured) presents her Urotensin work at ABRCMS in Anaheim. Well done!
Beth spoke about neuropeptide control of spine morphology at the Aquatic Models of Human Disease conference. Their presentation was recognized with a “best postdoc talk” award - congratulations!
At our annual retreat, Zoe Irons is recognized with the von Hippel award for outstanding senior graduate student. Congratulations Zoe!
Sam is a rotation student who will be working with John and Beth this fall on spinal curve mutants. Welcome!
