Joe completed a Bachelor and Masters of Science at The University of Melbourne, majoring in Genetics. His Masters research project was undertaken at the Bio21 Institute in the Batterham Laboratory, The University of Melbourne, where he studied the complex interface between an insecticide and an insect, performing a genome-wide association study on D. melanogaster to identify candidate genes that act in this interface and contribute to insecticide resistance. His research interests include the structural components of the neuronal synapse and how a mitochondrial fusion protein is involved in the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Joe was in the Neumann lab from June 2015 - May 2018. He is currently working for Imperial Healthcare at University College London.
Tarika Vijayaraghavan completed a Bachelor of Technology in Bioinformatics from Dr. D. Y. Patil University, Navi Mumbai, India. She then went onto to acquire research based credits in Genomics from Bellevue College, Bellevue, USA. Tarika completed her Master's in Biochemistry at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Her master's research project was supervised by Dr. Arnim Pause where she studied the importance of AMPK and tumor suppressor Folliculin in bacterial resistance in C. elegans. In the Neumann lab, Tarika is studying axonal regeneration in C. elegans, with a focus on the molecules and mechanisms behind the process of regenerative axonal fusion.
Zehra completed her undergraduate degree at La Trobe University in Biological Science majoring in Molecular- and Micro-biology. Her Honours research project was undertaken at the Royal Melbourne Dental Hospital with the Oral Biology CRC, The University of Melbourne where she studied how membrane lipid composition affects the localisation of vesicle biogenesis in the keystone pathogen associated with the progression of periodontal disease. Currently, her research interests surround the identification of factors involved in the process of regenerative axonal fusion, knowledge that may allow spontaneous axon repair to be induced post nerve injury!
Zehra was in the Neumann lab from June 2015 - October 2016, and is currently a PhD student within the Copenhagen Bioscience Programme, Copenhagen.
