Colin Scano, a Ph.D. student, and Ella von Dohlen, a sophomore undergraduate student, have officially joined the Greathouse Lab!

After graduating with an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Providence College, Colin worked for a couple years on a novel gene therapy platform at a startup company in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He is now pursuing his Ph.D. in Biology at Baylor. He has always been fascinated by the intricate role the microbiome plays in disease progression and overall health and is excited to investigate that role further.

Ella is a sophomore University Scholar studying Biology, Data Science, and Bioethics. She is interested in the relationship between genetic mutations and disease, and will be working on expanding her Bioinformatics skillset as a member of the Greathouse Lab. After graduation, she hopes to further her molecular biology studies and continue on to research in biomedical informatics.
