Jailynn received her PhD in Genetics from the University of Pennsylvania. Inspired by all aspects of 3-D genome organization, she’s focused on understanding how features change over time and how they relate to gene expression. When not in the lab, you can find her at a Crossfit gym or enjoying a long walk in the woods with her two dogs.

Marcus Woodworth got his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Washington. He is deeply interested in the mechanisms that connect genome structure with gene regulation, and is therefore focused on developing new methods to visualize the interplay between chromatin features. Outside of the lab, he enjoys exploring new areas, creating fictional worlds, board games, puzzles, and playing music.

Charlie received his PhD from the Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate Group at Penn working in the Lakadamyali lab, where he is now a postdoctoral fellow. He is interested in understanding mitochondrial transport and lysosome heterogeneity in neuronal processes as it relates to the health of a neuron and becomes disrupted during neurodegeneration. He is also working to implement increased multiplexing super-res capabilities in the lab using DNA-PAINT. He obtained his bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland, College Park. Outside his academic interests, Charlie enjoys yoga and trying out new food from one of the many great restaurants in Philly.

Patty is a PhD Candidate in the Cellular and Molecular Biology (CAMB) graduate group. Their work is focused around quantitative technique development for single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) modalities like STORM. They have a broad interest in protein misfolding and aggregation, especially those proteins that contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. They received their bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Seattle University in Washington State. Outside of the lab, Patty enjoys playing video games, reading fanfiction, and making cute things like pins and stuffed animals.

Hannah is a PhD Candidate in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology graduate group. Her research centers on using super resolution microscopy techniques such as STORM to study the nuclear organization of cells undergoing dedifferentiation. She is also interested in developing computational techniques to utilize computational techniques to analyze patterns in localization data. Prior to Penn, she received her BS in physics with a computer science minor from the University of Virginia. Besides science, her hobbies include painting, baking, and all things spooky.

Adriana is a PhD Candidate from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at Penn. She is interested in studying the enrichment of post-translation modification, particularly hyperphosphorylation, in tau aggregates present in Alzheimer's disease. She obtained her BSc with Honors in Chemistry from the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey. Adriana is also interested in science education and outreach activities. She is an active member of SACNAS-Penn and LRSM-PREM program. Outside her academic interest and lab, Adriana enjoys binge-watching movies and series, cooking, thrift-store shopping, and reading.
