Lauren O’Connor
Lauren is a PhD student in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience. Lauren joined our lab in 2019 to investigate the mechanisms that regulate motor axon degeneration.
Wenjia Huang
Wenjia is a PhD student in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program. Wenjia also started grad school in 2019 and is studying a group of genes that regulate functional axon regeneration.
Eli Min
Eli is an MD/PhD student who just joined our lab in the fall of 2021. He is investigating the dynamics of axon regeneration.
Victoria Julian
Victoria is a student in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience. She joined our lab in the spring of 2017 to investigate the shared mechanisms that regulate axon regeneration and degeneration.
Micah Belew
Micah Belew is a student in the Interdepartmental Graduate Program. Micah is applying his expertise in C. elegans genetics and the mechanisms that regulate aging to investigate the role of PARPs in axon regeneration.
Greta Johnson
Greta is an undergraduate student at UConn. She joined us for the summer to screen for regulators of axon regeneration...and make this website!
