Flo is a joint graduate student between the Shendure and Starita labs in the department of Genome Sciences. After receiving her B.S. in chemistry at UC Berkeley, Flo spent three years at Genentech working in monoclonal antibody therapeutic development. She then started her PhD in the Fall of 2017. The focus of her PhD is developing novel multiplex single-cell and bulk functional genomics sequencing-based technologies to study and better understand gene regulatory architecture and the consequences of genetic variation in numerous different in vitro cell culture models. Outside of the lab, Flo spends a lot of time cycling and doing other outdoor activities including skiing and backpacking in the Cascades.
