Julia Gonzalez: Julia graudated with a B.S. in Biology at Emory University and is currently a graduate student in the 4+1 Cancer Biology and Translational Oncology Program. Her current research involves studying sex-based differences in the EGFR pathway in Drosophila and mammalian GBM models. She is passionate about gender equality in healthcare and hopes to pursue a science career in translational cancer research. Outside of our lab, Julia loves crocheting, baking, and hanging out with friends.

Kevin Yin: Kevin graduated from Georgia Tech with a B.S. in Mathematics, where he studied the role of calcium signaling in modulating neural crest cell migration in Dr. Shuyi Nie's Lab. He has also done previous work on plexiform neurofibromas in Dr. Lu Le's lab of UT Southwestern. In his free time, he enjoys playing badminton, cooking desserts, and exploring supermarkets.

Jocelyn Chow: Jocelyn graduated from Emory University with a B.S in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and a minor in music. Previously, she has done research on characterizing the genetic abnormalities of pilocytic astrocytomas and IDH-wildtype glioblastomas. She is interested in studying glial cell biology and the genetic pathways of GBM mice models. Outside of the lab, Jocelyn loves cooking, playing tennis, and exploring Atlanta.

Irene Hsu: Irene is an undergraduate in the SIRE research program. She is pursuing a B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and training to become an Emergency Medical Technician. Previously, she has done research on mating behavior in Drosophila at Oxford College. She is now working on learning to use cell-based models and mouse models of glioblastoma. She also co-founded the Grey Matters undergraduate neuroscience journal at Emory University. Irene loves that neuroscience pushes limits of knowledge about who we are, what we are, and what we can become.
