Mary Batrich - BS Nursing
Mary joined the lab in Fall 2017. She's been working on isolating and identifying bacteria from the environment.

Andrea Garretto - BS Bioinformatics
Andrea started in the lab in summer 2015. In no time flat, she's tamed even the most difficult of PCRs as she begins works on domesticating several of our wild phages. She induces phages so easily -- I wonder if she's talking Phagetounge.

Genevieve Johnson - BS Bioinformatics
Genevieve joined the lab in Summer 2017. Don't ask her about Lactobacillus -- her arch nemesis. Genevieve has begun working with Pseudomonads and Pseudomonas phages.

Austin Kirk - BS Mathematics
Melanie Kohout - BS Biology
Laura Maskeri - BS Bioinformatics
Taylor Miller-Ensminger - BS Bioinformatics
Taylor joined the lab in summer 2016. She's grown fond of our little broad-host range phage Habibi. A force to be reckoned with at the bench. She'll be writing software in no time.

Rita Mormando - BS Bioinformatics
Nick Predey - BS Computer Science
Nick joined the lab in spring 2016. Learning biology along the way, he's gotten tangled up in using networks to study genomes.

Karina Smolyar - BS Biology
Abdul Zakkar - BS Bioinformatics/ BS Biology/ BS Computer Science
Abdul joined the lab in fall 2015 with his first introduction to phylogenetic trees. After working with phage genome sequences, he's now taming his first phage at the bench.
