Who we are
|
Dr. O'Neill's research in genomics involves several large-scale sequencing projects to map and compare large genomes – such as humans, the tammar wallaby and deer mice – and to learn more about how they function. She is particularly interested in the centromere – the part of the chromosome that is essential for cell division. The centromere has not been sequenced yet, even for humans. She calls it "uncharted territory" that could yield answers about human health and disease. She is also the best faculty advisor we could have asked for
Laura is a PhD student in genetics and genomics and is getting ready to graduate. She can't wait to find a job and move to San Diego.
Undergrads:
Nick J. is a Senior studying Biomedical Engineering. He was the first student at UConn to take interest in iGEM and his hours of dedication and effort are the foundation that formed the team.
Alex is studying Cell and Molecular Biology at the University of Connecticut with a focus in Microbiology.
Nick C. is a seventh semester Biomedical Engineering student at UConn. He enjoys skiing, hiking, rock climbing, and camping. This affinity for fresh air may be an attempt to compensate for spending the entire academic year indoors hunched over his laptop.
John is a Senior, majoring in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Uconn. Hobbies include Singing, reading, hiking, playing video games and writing. Needless to say, he is a walking contradiction.
Katie is Junior studying Molecular and Cell Biology at UConn.
Parker picks things up and puts them down.
Kristen Hughes is a 4th year MCB major with an interest in genetics. She has been doing research in a lab for 1.5 years and is one of the original UConn iGEM members.
Heather is a fifth semester student studying at the University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy and an active member of the UConn Women's Club Soccer Team.
