Karen D Crow
Edward Connor
BA in Biology from New College, Florida
MS in Biology from Florida State University
PhD in Biology from Florida State University
Postdoctoral research at Oxford University
Dr. Connor's research focuses on ecology and evolutionary biology particularly statistical inference from field data in community ecology and the evolution of insects-plant interactions.
Diana S Chu
BS in Biochemistry from the University of Californa at Berkeley
PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles
Post-doctoral Research in Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of California at Berkeley
Dr. Chu's research is focused on understanding mechanisms that package DNA during sperm formation that contribute to fertility. The Chu Lab uses the model organism C. elegans, which allows us to use approaches in biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, and genetics.

Jennifer L Breckler
Jennifer received her bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley in physiology, where she did an honors thesis including lab research on mRNA synthesis in neurons, and membrane fragility in sickle cell anemia. Her doctoral degree (PhD) is from UCLA School of Medicine, Dept. Physiology, for her thesis on the effects of nerve cross-innervation on fast and slow muscle physiology and biochemistry. She did her postdoctoral research at California Institute of Technology (CalTech) in Pasadena, California, on the formation of sarcomeres, and discovered a new intermediate filament protein called paranemin.
