Meghan is a third-year BMCDB student. Her research focus revolves around examining the intricate relationship between AQR, splicing processes, and R-loop formation within the mammalian genome.

Ethan is a third year IGG student studying the basic molecular mechanisms underlying R-loop formation and resolution using single-molecule techniques. Before joining the lab Ethan worked at Argonne National Labs and the National High-Throughput Crystallization Center developing software to increase the efficiency of protein crystallization condition analysis. Outside of the lab Ethan builds and programs DIY 3D printers, plays competitive Nerf with his San Jose based team, and hangs out with his cats Squeegee and Bubbles.

Deana is a 2nd year IGG student. Her research revolves around elucidating the relationship between RNA splicing and R-loop formation in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).

Tadas is a proficient junior specialist engaged in investigating the intricate correlation between R-loop formation and SSB through the application of advanced R-loop footprinting techniques, specifically SMRF-seq. Outside the laboratory, Tadas dedicates leisure hours to engaging in activities such as cycling, running, and exploring around Davis.

Saloni is a fourth-year Genetics and Genomics major with a minor in Statistics. She is investigating the role of various proteins involved in RNA processing in causing genome instability due to R-loop accumulation. Saloni loves to hike and listens to a lot of Bollywood music.
