Graduate Students

I am a Brazilian Bioprocess and Biotechnology Engineer and currently a Ph.D. student in Luo’s lab. My research focuses on studying dark carbon metabolic pathways of deep ocean microbial communities inhabiting hydrothermal vents.

I’m a thesis masters student in the Song lab studying plant signaling pathways using bioinformatics methods.

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.
