Mary is the herder of sciBATS, bridging the wet and dry lab team members and operations. Her interest in infectious diseases and population genetics has taken her to labs around the world and coincidentally expanded her palette. She attributes her success in completing a Ph.D. and postdoc to the cheap, accessible, and delicious ice cream made at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and the many wines and cheese she encountered while at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France. She is excited for the aid of one of her first addictions - coffee - in advancing single-cell technologies the sci-team can offer the scientific community of her alma mater and beyond.
