Lucia Capano, PhD

Graduate Student; Molecular and Cell Biology

Currently a post-doc at the Wainger Lab at Harvard Medical School.

Lucia got a B.S. in Biology and Neuroscience from Brandeis University where she studied the role of a neuronal transcription factor on the homeostasis of the neocortex. In the Yoo Lab, she studies the age-associated component of tauopathies and regulators of tau splicing. She loves traveling, is an avid runner, and has trained her cat to do tricks.

Kitra Cates, PhD

Graduate Student; Molecular Genetics and Genomics

Currently a post-doc at the Barna Lab at Stanford University.

Kitra received a B.S. in Genetics from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) where she analyzed transcription factor binding events integral to early soybean and maize development. Now, she studies the epigenetic factors that drive cell fate erasure and neuronal conversion during miRNA-9/9*-124 reprogramming. When she is not in lab, she enjoys jamming out at concerts, learning different languages, and trying to get some sunshine every now and then.

Josh Ho, M.S.

Masters Graduate; Developmental, Regenerative, and Stem Cell Biology

Josh got his B.A. in Biology from Vanderbilt University where he worked on the differentiation of cardiomyocytes from ESCs using small molecule inhibitors. In the Yoo lab, he studies the role of miRNAs in cell cycle exit during the direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into neurons. He loves cooking and corgis.

Yalin Lu, Ph.D.

Ph.D. Graduate; Developmental, Regenerative and Stem Cell Biology

Ya-Lin got her B.A. in Biology from Knox College where she studied small non-coding RNAs in social amoeba. She then went on to work on non-coding RNAs in motor neuron development at Academia Sinica, Taiwan. In the Yoo lab, she studies the mechanism of neural fate acquisition using the direct neuronal conversion paradigm. She loves anything and everything related to cats, manatees, and traveling.
