It is the people who think about, create, and discover our science. So, please meet the Gardner Lab team!
Meet the Scientists
Quick description of the denizens of the lab. How many fellows, how many grad students, how many undergrads. Lab manager's role, define researchers, stuff like that. Buttons are links to profiles or CV.
Graduate Student
Amanda Bradley
Studying the role sumoylation plays in protein modification during environmental stress.

Graduate Student
Nicole Marsh
I investigate how stress alters the transcriptional and post-translational profile of cells.

Postdoctoral Fellow
Tim Mackie
I am interested in liquid-liquid phase transitions and how they change with age.

Lab Manager/Research Scientist
Heather Borror
I make the Gardner Lab run more smoothly, participating in research and maintaining inventory.

The love of shmoo is how we do science
We noticed that the budding yeast in our research resembles Al Capp's fictional cartoon character, the Shmoo, which debuted in the comic strip Li'l Abner in 1948. The cuddly creature wants nothing more than to be a boon to mankind. Shmooing is how we do science. Budding yeast gravitate towards each other in mating with a shmoo, much like we gravitate towards science. Our lab loves the shmoo metaphor, and it has become our unofficial mascot.
