JMLAB Lloyd earned his Bachelor of Science in Molecular Environmental Biology from the University of California – Berkeley in 2018. In his undergrad, he volunteered at two labs: 1) EvoLab to uncover mechanisms of spider speciation 2) Medina lab to research lipid metabolism pathways in the liver. Also at Berkeley, he taught for two courses: “Introduction to Public Health” and “Foundations in Data Science” in small...

Postdoctoral Research Associate JMLAB Jieun received Ph.D. from the Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea, where she investigated the genetic mechanisms of human neurological disorders through next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis. Jieun joined the Milbrandt and Mitra labs with interests of characterizing potentially pathogenic genome variants identified in neurodegenerative disease patients and finding genetic/epigenetic modifiers...

JMLAB Yurie received Ph.D. from Niigata University in Japan. She obtained D.D.S and board certified dentist of Japanese dental society of anesthesiology. She was interested in mechanism of axonal degeneration and regeneration through clinical experience of treatment for patients who got nerve injury, and joined Milbrandt lab to study it. Her research focuses on the cellular mechanism of neurodegenerative disease and mitochondrial function in...

Postdoctoral Research Scholar JMLAB Waleed received his Ph.D. from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel, where he studied the intracellular signaling mechanisms underlying abnormal proliferation in the setting of blood cancer transformation. Waleed becomes interested in the basic questions regarding the role of mitochondria biology and its contribution to neuronal death and axon degeneration and he joined Milbrandt’s lab. Combining...
