Rebecca JonesPostdoctoral ResearcherRebecca is passionate about applying insights learned from embryonic development to human disease. Her work focuses on the transit of cells across the dermal-epidermal basement membrane as a paradigm for invasive metastatic cancer. When not in the lab, Rebecca can often be found running around Princeton in all weather.

Debra OuyangGraduate Student in Molecular Biology
Debra's research is focused on elucidating the mechanisms that restore asymmetric distribution of planar cell polarity proteins following mitosis. Using live imaging and super-resolution microscopy, she visualizes and tracks endogenously-tagged polarity proteins in the rapidly-dividing basal stem cells of developing murine skin.

Brandon TrejoGraduate Student in Molecular BiologyBrandon's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind basal stem cell divisions during development. He is also interested in advancing microscopy techniques for obtaining new insights into epidermal development. When not in lab, Brandon enjoys snorkeling and has traveled the underwater trail in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Deepika BhatnagarGraduate Student in Molecular BiologyDeepika is interested in understanding how sub-micron-scale protein interactions result in tissue-wide phenomena. Specifically, she is investigating the function of Prickle in coordinating the organization of the planar cell polarity complex in the mammalian epidermis. When not in lab, Deepika enjoys scaling mountains, skiing, and reading mystery novels.
