Our Staff


Bridget is a Ph.D. student through the NIH-Johns Hopkins Graduate Partnership Program. She comes to us with a Biochemistry degree from Allegheny College and a Masters of Science from Johns Hopkins. Her project focuses on the understanding the how the mir-35 family of microRNAs is regulated.


Kasuen received his B.S. in Biochemistry from Barrett Honors
College at Arizona State University. He joined Marco Mangone’s laboratory to
perform his Ph.D. research studying tissue-specific alternative splicing and
microRNA-mediated silencing. His postdoctoral research is examining the
function and regulation of the mir-51 family
of microRNAs as well as the functions of conserved RNA binding proteins.


Bing received her Ph.D. in Biology from Syracuse University where she worked with Eleanor Maine studying the interplay between H3K9 dimethylation, DNA repair and small RNAs in C. elegans. Prior to her graduate work, Bing received her undergraduate degree from Wuhan University in Hubei, China. During her postdoctoral fellowship, Bing is working on defining the microRNA binding sites that are essential for development in C. elegans, taking innovative CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing approaches.
