Charlie is a PhD Candidate in the Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate Group at Penn. He is interested in understanding mitochondrial transport 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.

Victor is a PhD student who joined the lab in 2023. He loves cytoskeleton and neurons. Victor did a B.Sc. in neuroscience at University of Michigan. Outside of the lab, he likes video games, hiking, and food.
Angel is from Mexico and he is a Biomedicine Ph.D. student from the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona, Spain. He is doing a research stay to study the changes in chromatin nanostructure and gene activity at the onset of heterokaryon reprogramming using super-resolution microscopy. His main scientific interests are to understand the mechanisms controlling pluripotency and cell fate reprogramming. Angel is a Biologist and has a M.Sc. in Biochemistry by the UNAM. He enjoys peaceful walks, reading and sushi.
