William Rosecrans
Post-baccalaureate Fellow
Hometown: Glen Head, New York
Undergraduate institution: Colgate University
NICHD mentor: Dr. Sergey Bezrukov
Area of research: I use physics and single-molecule studies to understand how specific molecules and proteins get into and out of the mitochondria.
Priyanka Mittal, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Hometown: Jaipur, Rajasthan (India)
Doctoral institution: PhD from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT Bombay)
NICHD mentor: Dr. Alan Hinnebusch
Area of research: My research is focused on the study of mechanism of differential regulation of divergently transcribed gene pairs by transcriptional activator, Gcn4.
Fountane Chan
Post-baccalaureate Fellow
Hometown: Bend, Oregon
Undergraduate institution: University of Oregon
NICHD mentor: Dr. Judith Kassis
Area of Research: I study the regulation of engrailed and invected expression in the Drosophila central nervous system.
Anna Horacek
Post-baccalaureate Fellow
Hometown: Portland, Oregon
Undergraduate institution: University of Oregon
NICHD mentor: Dr. Judith Kassis
Area of research: I study the role of long-range promoter-enhancer communication in establishing gene expression at the engrailed locus throughout early development in Drosophila.
Nicholas Johnson
Post-baccalaureate Fellow
Hometown: Colorado Springs, Colorado
Undergraduate institution: Colorado College and University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
NICHD mentor: Dr. Ryan Dale
Area of research: I work in the bioinformatics and programming core where I assist in developing and running bioinformatics workflows and applying analyses to various projects within NICHD. I look forward to meeting others in NICHD, as I have wide-ranging interests, including second-language acquisition, the health and psychosocial development of SGM individuals, oncoviruses, NLP, and of course, bioinformatics.
