Bio:

Hannah joined the Microscopy team as a Research Associate at the Allen Institute for Cell Science in July 2024. She earned her B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology at Western Washington University. There, under the direction of Dr. Suzanne Lee, she studied the role of RNA interference in the maintenance of genome integrity using the model organism Tetrahymena thermophila. Hannah was primarily involved in utilizing immunofluorescence microscopy techniques to study stress responses in Tetrahymena cells missing one or more components of an RNA interference pathway.
