Justin Cassidy, Ph.D. was a graduate student at Northwestern University. His work in the Carthew Lab used Drosophila as a model organism to study how microRNA mediated gene silencing confers robustness to gene regulatory networks. In the future, Justin hopes to apply similar quantitative analyses to direct effective business strategies.
"Systems approaches change a scientist's point of view to consider the whole picture. It is like looking at a pointillist painting like Seurat's 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jette' at the Art Institute. Up close all you see are dots of paint, but step back and they merge into a unified scene. A similar transition occurs when considering genes and genomes!" - Justin Cassidy, Northwestern University
Eric Bertolino, Ph.D. is a Research Associate (Assistant Professor) at the University of Chicago in the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. He studies regulatory networks that dictate cell fate choices in the immune system in Dr. Harinder Singh’s lab.
