She attended UNC Greensboro as an Interior Architecture major for two years, then she decided to work full time while exploring a career path in research.<\/p>\n<p>The Button lab studies the role of the cell-surface glycocalyx in limiting viral infections in the lungs, including SARS-CoV-2. Key to the glycocalyx function is the presence of large, heavily-glycosylated, membrane-bound mucins which form a tight mesh \u201cbarrier\u201d at the airway cell surface. During the past year, Ms. Thacker&#8217;s work has focused on using DNA modification and crisper activation (CRISPR-a) to create novel human airway epithelial cell lines that enhance the expression of several of these membrane-bound mucins. Holly&#8217;s overall goal is to identify mucin subtypes that can be overexpressed to limit viral infection of our airways. In addition, she assists with cell culture and provides organization and management for Button lab and undergrads.<\/p>\n<p>Holly Thacker&#8217;s Fun facts:<\/p>\n<p>She has a lot of pets: 4 rats, 3 snakes and 1 lizard and they\u2019re all named after different foods.\u00a0In her free time she enjoys spending time with her loved ones.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics gives out Staff Excellent Award every year.
