Principle Investigator
I completed my PhD in the lab of Dr. Hilary Ashe at the University of Manchester, England, which focused on understanding the differentiation of Drosophila ovarian stem cells, where I discovered my passion for awkward and repetitive dissections. I undertook my postdoctoral research with Dr. Iswar Hariharan at the University of California, Berkeley, studying tissue regeneration. I subsequently founded my lab at ASU in 2018, and currently teach "Tissue Regeneration and Stem Cell Biology" and "General Genetics". I am also the director of the Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Program. I can usually be found hanging around my lab distracting my grad students, or in Starbucks. I also enjoy running, and walking my lab/collie mix.
Research Technician
I am the Harris lab's research technician. More to come soon!

PhD student
Hello! I’m a PhD student in the MCB program here at ASU. I received my BS from Cleveland State University with a major in chemistry and a minor in biology. I’m fascinated by the processes involved with going from a single cell to a complex multicellular organism. I hope to learn more about these processes in the context of regeneration which shares many similarities with normal development. I enjoy outdoor activities in my spare time, including hiking, biking, and just walking around the city.
