  • Mr. Freddie Ortiz rotated in the lab in 2024 as a PhD candidate in Immunology & Microbiology.
  • Ms. Temitope Ogunmola rotated in the lab in 2023 as a PhD candidate in Cancer Biology.
  • Ms. Olivia Saguto joined the lab for credit under BSC4910 and BSC4912 in Feb, 2022 as a second year UF undergraduate student in Biology with an interest in Pre-Dentistry and minor in Business Administration. Olivia participated in research on the role of the EBV latent membrane protein (LMP-1) during the lytic phase.
  • Dr. Tiffany Frey joined the lab in 2018 as a PhD candidate in the Immunology & Microbiology Concentration and earned her PhD in 2022. Tiffany’s research focused on the influence of endogenous retroviruses during lytic activation of EBV and epigenetic regulation of EBV.
  • Ms. Jennifer A. Mitchell joined the lab from March of 2021 to 2022 for credit under BSC4905 as a second year UF undergraduate student in Anthropology and PreMedicine. Jennifer’s contributions led to her authorship on a publication in the J. Virology.
  • Ms. Nathalie Bonin joined the lab from March 2021 to 2022 as a second year UF undergraduate in Microbiology and Cell Science. 
  • Ms. Holly Padgett joined the lab for credit under BSC4910 and BSC4912 in Feb, 2022-2023 as a first year UF undergraduate student in Biology and made contributions toward our understanding EBV lytic expression of a latent membrane protein (LMP-1).
  • Ms. Lai Jing Su joined the lab in Nov 2018 as a UF undergraduate Pre-medicine and Spanish major. Lai Jing had a strong interest in bioinformatics and completed her certificate in Bioinformatics. Lai Jing went on to graduate from UF and earned co-authorship on a landmark paper in PLoS Pathogens, 2021.
