Noah Joins the Lab


Noah Brown has decided to join the Guler Malaria Lab. He is from Fauquier county Virginia, where the demographics meant that instead of science, he was mostly surrounded by cows and cornfields. It wasn't until his undergraduate career at James Madison University where he learned that he had a skill and passion for scientific research and computer science. He wanted to apply his interest in a highly technical and exciting way, so he tailored his experience as an undergrad to prepare himself for a PhD, where he eventually ended up in the J. Guler lab. Here, he has a few exciting projects he is going to be working on. Firstly, he is looking at rare copy number variations that arise on the single parasite level as it relates to evolution and adaptability of the Malaria disease. Further, he is looking at a novel extra chromosomal DNA element in the parasite genome which confers anti-malarial drug resistance. The mechanics and abilities of this molecule are largely unknown, and are a potential host for interesting science. In both projects he will be using a combination of wet-lab and bioinformatic approaches to address his hypotheses. Welcome to the Lab Noah!
