Hope Henderson

Ph.D. Candidate

Research

I earned my BA at Brown University, where I worked with Marc Tatar. After graduation, I worked as a technician in Anjana Rao's laboratory, first at Harvard Medical School, and then at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology. I'm currently a PhD candidate in the Dillin lab, working under Suzy Wolff and in collaboration with Anu Suomalainen Wartiovaara. I am studying mitochondrial aging and DNA replication using the model organism C. elegans
