Amanda Ray
Graduate Student, CMDB Program
aray20@jhu.edu
Amanda is studying how information is interpreted in the worm brain and where variability can arise during interpretation.
Rebekka Paisner
Graduate Student, CMDB Program
rpaisne2@jhu.edu
Rebekka is studying the transgenerational inheritance of pathogen avoidance in C. elegans.
Greg Artiushin
Postdoctoral Fellow
grega@jhu.edu
Greg is studying where and when genes are expressed in the brain that are important for orb-weaving.
Hsin-Yi Hung
Graduate Student, Solomon H Snyder Department of Neuroscience
hhung6@jhu.edu
Hsin-Yi is studying the role of leg movement on active vibrational sensing in spiders.
Darya Task
Postdoctoral Fellow
dtask1@jhu.edu
Darya is interested in developing genetic tools to study spider web-building behavior.
Calvin Runnels
Graduate Student, CMDB Program
crunnel2@jhu.edu
Calvin is investigating the evolutionary history of orbweaving behavior and studying spider sexual dimorphism.
Lab Alumni
Ariel Parker
Graduate Student, CMDB Program
aparke45@jhu.edu
Ariel worked to understand if/how C. elegans chemosensory neurons can detect signal variance as information for dauer decision-making.
Jeremiah Miller
Graduate Student, CMDB Program
jmill3082@jhu.edu
Jeremiah assembled the genome of the spider Uloborus diversus and studied the effects of drugs on web-making.
Abel Corver
Graduate Student, Solomon H Snyder Department of Neuroscience
acorver1@jhu.edu
Abel researched the decision-making algorithm that guides web-making and developed tools to study these algorithms in the spider's brain.
