Lab Updates
The Conine Lab welcomes rotation student, Johnny Doherty!
September 2022
Johnny is a PhD student in the Cellular and Molecular Biology Graduate Group, under the Genetics and Epigenetics track. He obtained his Bachelors of Science in Biology with a Chemistry minor from York College of Pennsylvania in 2020. Before starting his PhD work, he spent 2 years at the Wistar Institute in Kavitha Sarma's lab researching RNA-mediated epigenetic gene regulation. When not in the lab, Johnny enjoys going out to eat, playing on a recreational softball team, and spending time with friends.
