Welcome, Keisuke Kuromiya!
Keisuke Kuromiya Joins the Lab
Welcome to Keisuke Kuromiya, who joins the O’Brien Lab as a postdoctoral scholar. He earned his PhD in Medical Science from Kyoto University in 2023. In his thesis work, he studied cell competition between normal cells and transformed cells using mammalian cell culture system.
Emile Magny joins the O’Brien Lab
Welcome, Emile!
Emile Magny joins the O’Brien Lab as a staff scientist. He obtained is PhD in Biology from the University of Sussex, UK, in 2014. In his thesis, and during his career, using Drosophila as a model organism, his research has focused on demonstrating that genes lacking annotated coding sequences (due to their very short sizes), can actually code for small peptides with important biological functions.

Welcome, Andy Zhao!
Andy Zhao joins the O’Brien Lab
Andy Zhao is a graduate student in the Molecular and Cellular Physiology department. He graduated from Reed College in 2022 with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. As an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Derek Applewhite’s lab, he studied cytoskeletal regulation in the context of cellular migration. His research centers on elucidating the cell biology of immune cells in the fly gut.
