We welcome Ava Plunkett, an undergraduate student from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, for a summer research project. Ava is the recipient of a Vincent Scholarship that she was awarded by the Smurfit Institute of Genetics and the American-Ireland Fund. Ava will spend the summer with us to gain research experience.

Summer Retreat
We met for the lab’s annual Summer Retreat to review each lab member’s research progress and discuss plans and priorities for the coming year. The retreat included presentations by lab members and discussions of ongoing and future projects.
