Alen Poehlman
I am from the University of Washington in Seattle, where I am entering my third year majoring in Biochemistry. This summer, I am a part of the Amgen Scholars program, consisting of a 10-week mentorship, conferences, and workshopping events to prepare students for graduate school and their careers in research. This summer, I will be working with Amy Prichard studying dual infection with obligate intracellular pathogens, where we're looking to gain a better understanding of how pathogens interact with each other and their host in a shared cell.
Congratulations! to Hannah Riel
Hannah is a recipient of the 2025 MIMG Immersive Research Fellowship which entails a stipend of $3,000 for 30 hours of work per week over 8 weeks over Summer 2025.
Good work, Hannah!

TALK TITLE:
”Translation Machinery in Health and Disease”
Amy Prichard - Welcome to the Pernas Lab!
Amy joins us from University of California San Diego’s School of Biological Sciences, with an emphasis in Biology (microbiology focus). Welcome, Amy!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO MARTA OLSON on her acceptance into the PATH 2 program!!
Advanced Independent Research
Path 2 is intended for students who are interested in fulfilling their degree requirements by conducting independent research in a faculty mentor’s laboratory. Undergraduates engage in at least two-quarters of letter-graded research (196A and 196B) and concurrently participate in research seminars (180A and 180B) designed to help students acquire in-depth and broad knowledge about their research project.
OPEN DISCUSSION
…of our thoughts on how mitochondria function as microbe sensors!
FAREWELL & CONGRATULATIONS to Li!!!
Farewell Li! And good luck with starting your new lab at Peking University, we will miss you!
