She is currently working as an biology application specialist at MilliporeSigma.
Kristel Yee Mon, Ph.D.
Ph.D. student
Dr. Kristel Yee Mon defended her thesis in July 2020. Her thesis work focused on post-transcriptional genetic regulation of the neonatal and adult CD8 T cell response to infection.
​
Kristel joined Dr. Julie Blander's lab as a post-doctoral research fellow at Weill Cornell Medical College
Jocelyn Wang, Ph.D.
Ph.D. student
Dr. Jocelyn Wang defended her thesis in November 2017. ​Her work focused on how the developmental origin of CD8+ T cells contributes to their response to infection and metabolic programs.
​
She worked as a post-doctoral research fellow with Dr. Mark Kaplan at Indiana University-Purdue University.
Wisler Charles, Ph.D.
Ph.D. student
Dr. Wisler Charles defended his thesis in the summer of 2016. His work focused on the environmental factors that alter the neonatal CD8+ T cell response to murine cytomegalovirus in the brain. If you are interested, Wisler created an app called Breach where you can fight pathogens.
