Gerdt Laboratory

Julia was raised in Oberlin, Ohio and graduated with a BA in chemistry from Hamilton College. Throughout college she worked in an organic chemistry lab, developing photocatalyzed two- and three-component coupling reactions, but now enjoys the challenge of understanding the calcium-signaling pathways of Capsaspora owczarzaki. In her free time, she loves doing crafts, particularly needle felting and embroidery, and listening to music. Her favorite artists include Tortoise, Pharoah Sanders, and Beach House.
