Jennifer Johnson finished her B.S. in Biology in 1999. She worked on several projects in the Ustilago lab. She started out by working with Charles Roche and Matt Warner on a project to make UV mutants that don't mate properly, and her final work involved molecular complementation and characterization of a temperature sensitive mutant. She spent a month in the Kahmann lab in Munich, learning molecular techniques to bring back to the SJU lab. Her work was funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute Summer Research grant to the Biology Department, by the Dean of Arts and Sciences, and by a National Science Foundation grant to Drs. Snetselaar and McCann. Jennifer started a combined M.D./Ph.D. program at the University of Pittsburgh in the fall of 1999.
