Thank you to our amazing undergrads Angel and Zarah for all of their contributions to the lab!

Jonathan's final work from his postdoc is published in Nature Communications. This work identifies that expression of the retrotransposon R2 is controlled in the germline by insulin signaling.

Jonathan has received a Grant for Junior Faculty from the American Federation for Aging Research to begin new projects investigating rDNA instability in aging. This funding has been provided by the Hearst Foundation. We are grateful to AFAR and the Hearst Foundation for supporting our research! Learn more.

Daisy is a first year Stony Brook University Molecular and Cell Biology PhD student joining the lab for the second half of the fall semester. Welcome to the lab, Daisy!

Caroline is a first year Molecular and Cellular Biology PhD student joining the lab for a rotation this fall. Welcome to the lab Caroline!

We celebrated the lab's first anniversary at lab meeting today! We've already grown so much this year, and look forward to many discoveries in the future!

We celebrated the wonderful research done by the lab's three undergraduate students this summer. Hunter, Angel, and Zarah each shared their research projects with the lab. We look forward to seeing more outstanding work from them in the future!

The lab welcomes our new research technician, Jackson Chen! Jackson joins us after recently completing his BS from Stony Brook University, where he worked in the lab of Dr. Michael Frohman. Jackson is working to understand the molecular sensors that recognize if cells have enough rDNA copies or not.
