We had our annual lab retreat at the new JHU Bloomberg Center building in Washington, D.C. We enjoyed some good science, as well as good food and views of the city.
Lab retreat in DC
Sara’s thesis defense
Sara Carioscia gave her public thesis defense talk describing her research investigating mechanisms and genetic influences on the accuracy of chromosome segregation during the formation of human eggs and sperm. Her research helped uncover how common genetic variation in maternal genome influences risk of chromosome abnormalities that underlie pregnancy loss. Congrats to Dr. Carioscia!
