Profiles

  • Jason Fontana

    Jason is a PhD graduate from University of Washington. He is interested in CRISPR-based tools for turning on and off multiple genes in E. coli in a programmable manner. These tools could be useful for discovering and implementing complex transcriptional programs to improve bioproduction in bacteria

  • Paul Carlson

  • Kathryn Brink

    Kathryn Brink

    Kathryn Brink is a PhD student in the Tabor lab at Rice University. She is working to identify novel antimicrobials that inhibit virulence-associated two-component systems, signaling pathways that bacterial pathogens use to activate virulence genes upon entry into a host. As part of the SPA, Kathryn works with Kersh to manage the IAB-Student Mentoring program.

  • Cassandra Barrett

    Cassandra Barrett is a PhD student in Karmella Haynes’ lab at Arizona State University. Her research focuses on building synthetic biology tools to manipulate the chromatin environment in mammalian cells in order to improve genome editing. As president of the EBRC SPA, Cassandra coordinates career development programming, organizes retreat events, and oversees the SPA board. Cassandra hopes to have a career integrating biotechnology with clinical genetics.
