Graduate Students

I’m from Denver, North Carolina and have stayed here except for a short time at NC State when I was in Biomedical Engineering before moving back and starting at UNC Charlotte. Here, I received my B.S. in Biology as a part of the Honors Program and have been doing research with the Grdzelishvili Lab since […]

Hey there! I’m a PhD student in Dr.Chi’s lab, diving deep into the world of yeast, exploring the intricacies of membrane trafficking. I am exploring new ways of integrating state-of-the-art technologies in yeast and hoping to find something cool. My journey in science started with a Master’s in Genetics, and now I’m on a mission […]

Our lab works on population genetics and sequence analysis using bioinformatic tools. We conduct both long-read and short-read sequencing to examine specific regions of the human genome. Our goal is to identify genetic variation in specific populations and establish association with different diseases.

I’ve always been interested in insects and spiders and now I am lucky enough to work with spiders for my Master’s! Initially, I received a B.S. in Biological Sciences here at Charlotte and I am continuing my journey here with a M.S. in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Environmental, Ecology, and Evolutionary Biology. My research is currently looking […]
