Dr. Jen McEllin

I joined the Dissel lab in May 2018. As the lab technician I do whatever needs to be done to help the lab run smoothly. I maintain fly stocks, oversee undergraduate student workers, and order supplies. I also fabricate and build apparatuses for experimental assays and work on the projects requiring computer programming. Before working in the Dissel lab, I received a B.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a PhD from the University of Illinois-Chicago. When not in the lab I train in karate, play games, read and try to keep up with my 3 huskies.
