Rosanna Chao

Graduate Student, Joint with KC Huang, Bioengineering


We are learning how the light environment affects motility of single cells, investigating the action of photoreceptors, and studying how factors such as exopolysaccharides might affect collective motility. I enjoy reading, dancing, music and theatre, cycling, climbing, sitting in a park, traveling, cooking, and writing in my food blog

 

 

 

 

Michelle Davison

Postdoctoral, Biology, Stanford University

Michelle Davison was born and raised in California. A pervasive sense of wonder for living things has been a strong motivating force in her life, leading her in seemingly opposite directions: on one hand, a love of scientific discovery, and the other, creative expression. Drawn from Experiments

  Postdoctral

 In the lab, I am working to develop a synthetic biology pipeline to engineer nitrogen    fixation and other metabolic pathways into unicellular cyanobacteria. I am also developing new molecular tools for the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis  sp.PCC 6803.
