Amy Maisel is a Biology student here at SU doing her Undergraduate research in the lab. Welcome Amy!
Congratulations to Dr. Favour Ononiwu
We are thrilled to celebrate Favour Ononiwu’s successful defense of her Ph.D. dissertation last Friday. Favour joined our program during the challenging days of the COVID-19 pandemic and has overcome many hurdles on her way to this milestone. Her perseverance, creativity, and scientific rigor have left a mark on our lab and on the field of developmental cell biology.
She talked about her recent work titled “Functionally Essential and Structurally Diverse: Insights into the Zebrafish Left-Right Organizer’s Cilia via Optogenetic IFT88 Perturbation and Array Tomography”that sheds new light on how cilia contribute to the development of the zebrafish Left-Right Organizer (LRO), known as the Kupffer’s Vesicle (KV).
We are excited to see where her career takes her next, knowing she will continue to advance science with creativity and determination.
Congratulations, Dr. Ononiwu! 🎉

Welcome Athena Allred from University of Arizona!
Athena will be hanging out with us this summer learning microscopy and zebrafish development! Can’t wait for her to image microtubule and actin dynamics during KV development!
