Joshua B. Kelley, PhD
Josh is a joint post-doc with Tim Elston's group. Josh received his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the University of Virginia, where he studied regulation of the RanGTPase and nuclear transport in the context of stress signaling. He now turns his attention to the regulation of chemotropic growth and gradient sensing.

Dohlman Lab

Vish Sridharan, Everett Young, Fedor Kossakovski, Josh Sheetz and Norman Pham

...are current undergraduate researchers. So far they have remained uninjured and enthusiastic lab mates. Stay tuned for great discoveries.


Assistant Professor(s)

2010-2011
Daniel G. Isom.
  Dan received his PhD in Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University where he studied protein electrostatics. After a brief postdoc in the lab he is now Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics investigating how protein dynamics are regulated by cellular stress. Dan
remains a neighbor as he transitions to independence.
