The Sharlin Lab builds vertical teams of Biology MS graduate students and undergraduate students to explore questions related to thyroid hormone action in development. Projects use a combination of genetic, molecular, and physiological techniques.
David Sharlin
Principal Investigator
Myles
The Lab Lab
Kendra Draeger
Biology MS Graduate Student
Kendra is developing a novel thyroid hormone receptor mediated mechanism to target the genome.
Nathalia Castellanos Meija
Biology MS Graduate Student
Nathalia is investigating cochlear myelination and middle ear anatomy in mice lacking thyroid hormone transporters.
James Hawco
Undergraduate Research Assistant
James' research is focused on understanding the degree to which circulating levels of thyroid hormone must be decreased to measure changes in thyroid hormone regulated gene expression.
