Eugenio Marco (2003-2005)
Eugenio holds a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Valencia, in Spain. Right after his
thesis he went to do research at the Technical University of Munich, Germany,
where he worked on different problems in particle and nuclear physics. Dr. Marco
is excited about working in the field of genomics; he has worked on projects in the
area of network reconstruction and cell polarity. Some of his favorite hobbies are
swimming, reading, cooking and listening to music.

June Oshiro (2003-2005)
In conjunction with the
Rando lab at the CGR, June's project studied the effects of nucleosome
position and movement on gene expression in S. cerevisiae. She received a M.S.
in Food Science (1999) from Rutgers University and a Ph.D. in Microbiology and
Molecular Genetics (2003) from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New
Jersey and Rutgers University. Under the tutelage of Dr. George Carman, she
studied the transcriptional regulation of the DPP1 gene in S. cerevisiae. In her
free time, she enjoys fiber arts, cooking, books on tape, aquatic horticulture,
playing with her twin cats, and surfing the internet for good deals.

Guocheng Yuan (2003-2005)
Guocheng received his Ph.D degree in applied mathematics at University of
Maryland at College Park. Before coming to CGR, he spent a few years jointly at
Brown University and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, then worked for a
year at National Centers for Environmental Predictions. Since graduating, he has
been working on modeling complex behaviors in simple and complicated systems
using computational methods.

Former Interns

Karolina Maciag (2003-2005)
Harvard University '04, Biochemistry. Eukaryotic gene expression, the production
of a functional mRNA and its export from the nucleus, is a complex process
involving many distinct steps. Karolina's project involved the computational analysis of
comprehensive yeast protein-protein interaction networks in order to elucidate
coupling between machineries carrying out these sub-processes. Aside from
computationally poking at yeast proteins, she loves kicking back with a good book,
sailing and windsurfing on the ever-pristine Charles River, playing tennis,
hiking, long-distance running, long-distance telephone calls, and Boston
summers.

Kevin Yang (2004-2005)
Harvard University '06, Physics (with emphasis in Biophysics). Kevin's project
investigated the evolution of protein gradients in yeast cells, which
provided months of unending amusement. Outside of the sciences,
he spends a significant amount of time reading ancient Chinese texts in their
original glory. In his copious free time, he enjoys playing basketball, listening
to music, reading books, and chipping away at his permanent sleep debt.

Yuen-Jong Liu (2002-2004)
Harvard University '04, Computer Science and Biochemistry. Yuen-Jong developed
a high-throughput, oligonucleotide microarray-based method for determining
nucleosome positions on the yeast
genome. His favorite hobbies are kung fu, ballroom dancing, photography, and
cinematography.

Varvara Zeldovich (Summer 2004)
Cornell University '06, Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Vavara worked
on the biology side of the yeast polarity project, making
fluorescence microscopy movies of polarizing cells in the wee hours of the
night. During most of the year, she works in a solid state chemistry group on
developing better fuel cell catalysts. On her free days, she enjoys getting up at
the crack of noon, combing boston for thrift and used cd stores, going to shows,
playing the harp, and designing/building theatrical sets/costumes. Other
interests include sparklers, pi, blue cheese, lip balm, superconductors,
secrets, and wave equations.

|
Jonathan Guberman (2002-2003)
Harvard College '03, Mathematics.
Jonathan's project involved mathematically modelling spatial precision in Drosophila
development, specifically in the Bicoid-Hunchback network. He hopes to pursue a
doctoral degree in mathematical biology and a medical degree, leading to
biomedical research. His hobbies include boxing and SCUBA diving.

Jacob Applebaum (Spring 2003)
Amherst College '03, Biology and Chemistry.
Jacob created and examined the efficacy of a filter for high-confidence electronic
assignment of function to unannotated genes based on the combination of fitness
assays and cDNA arrays. Outside the lab, he enjoys making music with his trusty
Gibson, skiing and playing soccer.

Alexey Gorshkov (Summer 2002)
Harvard College '04, Physics and Mathematics.
Alexey worked on reverse engineering of gene regulatory networks using a Boolean
model. His family came from Moscow, Russia four and a half years ago. He plays
Russian rock on an acoustic guitar. He likes swimming, badminton, biking, and
hiking.
