Sejuti Naurin
Phd Candidate
Sejuti joined the lab in spring 2022 and is working on transcriptomic analysis of optic fissure fusion. Sejuti is collecting and analyzing single cell transcriptomes of retinal cells directly involved in optic fissure fusion with the hopes of identifying novel regulators of this complex developmental process.
Lab Alumni
Meet Patel
PhD Candidate
Meet joined the lab after completing the rotation program in Jan 2021 and is currently working on the role of cdhr1a during early retinal development. In particular, Meet is going to investigate the role of cdhr1a during early photoreceptor progenitor development and function.
Deep Patel
BSc candidate, BIO394 student
Deep joined the lab as a BIO395 student in the spring of 2022. Deep is working on characterizing the expression patterns of the tfap2 family of transcription factors and their function during ocular anterior segment development.
Maya Owens
MS candidate
Maya joined the lab in the fall of 2022 and is working on elucidating targets of the E3 ubiquitin ligase SIAH1 which are associated with ocular development. She aims to subsequently assess the functional role of their targeting by the Ubiquitin Proteasome System.
Carter Ahlfeld
BSc candidate, BIO395 student
Carter joined the lab in the fall of 2023 and is working with Meet on examining mertka and tyro3 activity in zebrafish RPE cells. Carter will be working with CRISPR knockouts of both genes and examine effects on RPE biology and retinal homeostasis.
Hannah Greenwell
AgBiotech candidate, BIO395 student
Hannah joined the lab in the fall of 2023 and is working with Dr. Vocking on examining several mutant lines established from our recent anterior segment development study. Hannah will track the anterior segment mesenchyme cells in early development and ultimately analyze effects on the physiology of the developed anterior segment.
