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.
I am the Harris Lab’s research technician. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, with an emphasis in genetics, cell, and developmental biology, from Arizona State University in 2020. After graduating, I spent five years working in industry before returning to ASU as a research technician in Dr. Harris’s lab. The lab’s focus on tissue regeneration in response to damage strongly resonates with my interest in understanding the complexities of biological systems. Outside the lab, I enjoy board games, 3D printing, and reading fantasy novels.
My name is Jordan Hieronymus. I grew up in northern Idaho and earned my degree in Medical Sciences from the University of Idaho. I’m now pursuing my PhD in the Molecular and Cellular Biology program, where I aim to understand how tissue regenerates following necrotic cell death. Outside the lab, I enjoy golfing, playing pickleball, and spending time with friends.
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.
