Emily joined the Hata Lab in June 2022 after receiving her BA from College of the Holy Cross.  At Holy Cross, Emily was a Biology/Chinese double major, and worked in Dr. Alexis Hill’s Drosophila Neurobiology lab.  Her work focused on the gene seizure (sei) and how it affects developmental time in Drosophila, along with determining which cell types express sei.  In the Hata lab, she is a member of the Model Development Team which seeks to create cell lines and PDX models from patient lung cancer samples.  Outside of lab, Emily enjoys doing ballet, playing with her cat, and spending time with friends and family.
