We are almost 6 months old and in the past couple of months we tripled in size!
After doing her spring quarter rotation in the lab, Michelle Chicas, a first year biochemistry graduate student bravely joined the lab as the Vásquez lab’s first ever graduate student!!!
Vesta Baumgartner joined the lab as a Research Scientist in May! She is fearlessly tackling fly husbandry in the face of several bad batches of fly food, the laminator, and naming all the things in lab.
We are still down one incubator, but the confocal is up, running, and churning out beautiful data. We are super excited for what the summer will bring! Stay tuned for updates to the people page for Michelle and Vesta’s bios!
