Studied a bacterial toxin as an undergrad, then became fascinated by the circadian clock and "clock" genes, especially by their names. Love research + science no doubt, but even more passionate about soccer, as I have been playing ever since I was eight. |

Rebecca Mosig Ph.D. Lab manager/postdoc |
From Atlanta then New York City, where I studied Genetics and Ovarian Cancer. Always loved sunrise and sunsets, so I think I was born to study the circadian cycle. Outside of the lab, I love nature, the farm, my husband, and am a passionate dog and plant mom |

Evan Littleton Graduate Student (MCB/Biology) |
Grew up in Virginia and studied at Virginia Tech as an undergraduate, graduated in 2018. I knew I loved molecular biology and the amazing complexity of cells, so I wanted to keep learning more about them through research. To me, studying the molecular circadian rhythm and how cells are able to tell time in such a precise way is a perfect mixture of what I find most fascinating about biology. Outside of the lab I love to watch sports, especially basketball and football!
