Sarah Morse joins the Nord Lab as an Assistant Specialist. She is interested in single-cell assay development, lab management, and testing her dessert recipes on the Nord lab members.
Ph.D. candidate Linda Su-Feher represented the Nord Lab at the 2017 CSHL Single Cell Analyses meeting, held Nov 8-11, 2017, and presented a poster on single-cell RNA-sequencing in the basal ganglia.
BMCDB graduate student Linda Su-Feher participated in a one week International Student Workshop hosted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB), from October 22nd – 28th. Graduate students from UC Davis, IGDB, and Japan’s Nara Institute of Science and Technology converged in Beijing, China, for a week of science, cultural exchanges, dancing, and food.
