We are delighted to welcome Abin Abraham, a new MD/PhD student, to the lab. Abin will join the Human Genetics PhD program. He is interested in understanding the genetic architecture and evolution of diseases of pregnancy. Abin graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S.E in Biomedical Engineering.

Congratulations to Corinne for publishing her paper on how transposable elements gain enhancer activity in Molecular Biology and Evolution. Check it out:
