Ashley did her undergraduate studies at the University of WI - Madison and worked with Dr. Barry Ganetzky and Dr. Shannon Ballard on pain perception in Drosophila. She completed post-bacc work with Dr. Jill Wildonger on motor protein regulation and neuronal morphology. Ashley completed her PhD at University of Minnesota with Dr. Margaret A. Titus using the social amoeba Dictyostelium to study the conserved pathways in filopodia formation.
Ashley is working on studying neuronal polarity in the freshwater cnidarian, Hydra and is also interested in how nerve nets in Hydra are connected to promote behavioral responses. Overall, she is interested in cytoskeletal dynamics and regulation and how the cytoskeleton gives cells morphology and polarity. Ashley is an NIH NRSA postdoc fellow.

Jonathon (Joe) Howard is a biophysicist interested in how motor proteins and the cytoskeleton shape and move cells. He uses optical and mechanical techniques to study the behavior of individual molecules, and uses theory and computation to understand how molecular interactions give rise to coordinated, collective behavior at the cell level. After studying mathematics (B.Sc.) and neurobiology (Ph.D.) at the Australian National University in Canberra, he has moved around geographically-Bristol, San Francisco, Seattle, Heidelberg, Dresden, New Haven-where he has pursued a diverse range of scientific interests including vision, audition, intracellular transport, mitosis, cell motility, embryonic development and neuronal morphogenesis.
