Shortly before the COVID19 lockdown, we were excited to welcome Dr. Tegan Horan to the lab. Tegan graduated from Washington State University (WSU) Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Genetics and Cell Biology. From there, she moved to Australia to complete her Masters in Genetics, where she studied meiotic recombination in monotremes. She then returned to WSU to pursue another Masters in Cultural Anthropology, as well as completing her PhD in Pat Hunt's lab focusing on environmental perturbation of mammalian meiosis. Tegan's expertise in meiosis is perfect for our lab, and as you can see from the photo on the left, she is particularly passionate about microscopy. Her work will focus on role of the Fanconi Anemia family and its may interacting pathways on meiotic recombination and genome stability in the germ line of male and female mice. We look forward to seeing her exciting imaging studies in the next few years. Welcom, Tegan!
