Last fall Rena Jones and Ruizhe Xho moved on to take new jobs - we wish them much success!
Four new people joined the lab:
-TJ Riddle is a Ph.D. student who will be working on the cell adhesion project, focusing on the interplay between adherens and gap junction proteins.
-Susie and Betsy Saunders are Marshall juniors who joined the lab to help out and do their Capstone projects. Our biggest challenge was learning to tell them apart because they are twins!
