Angela Crabtree
Laboratory Manager
"As a chemist turned microbiologist, my interdisciplinary saga has been paved with a spectrum of diverse laboratory experiences. I have worked in research chemistry labs synthesizing organometallic compounds and assembling optical components for laser experiments, microbiology research exploring plasmid biology and evolution, analytical environmental chemistry, veterinary molecular diagnostics, and have ultimately returned to my alma mater."
Mark Lee
Laboratory Technician
"My ultimate dream in life was to be a monkey. When that didn't work out, I figured I'd start rock climbing and become a biologist. Graduated from the University of Idaho May 2019 with a degree in Molecular Biology and now starting on my way to a higher degree."
Suki Li
PhD candidate
"I taught myself to play the piano when I was 3. Even at an early age, I was a person who never gives up and is focused on my goals."
Nathan Taggart
PhD candidate
"I am passionate about learning, especially science--you would be hard-pressed to name a scientific field that does not pique my interest!"
Lance Fredericks
Undergraduate research assistant, majoring in Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Biology.
"My desire to study biology came from the Jurassic Park movies. It's a neat concept.”

Jordan Hawley
Undergraduate research assistant, majoring in Microbiology
"I established the first ParvoVirus ICU in a humane society facility in Idaho enabling us to save hundreds of shelter animal lives! My passion for animal rescue is matched only by my love of learning about Biology and the microbial world around us."
Mason Shipley
Undergraduate research assistant,
"I've enjoyed learning about the ways that chemicals would effect the body every since I read my father's nursing textbooks as a kid. I decided that the best way to continue that learning was through studying biochemistry"
Cooper Roslund
Undergraduate research assistant, majoring in Microbiology and a minor in Pre-health Occupations
"If I'm not studying Microbiology or at school I'm usually outdoors. I am an avid skier and I love anything to do with mountains and being on the water. I hope to become a doctor someday so that I can help people get through injuries so they can get back to doing what they love!"
Conner Gould
Undergraduate research assistant, majoring in Microbiology and Medical Sciences
"My passion for studying medicine stems from my training as a lifeguard. Being able to use knowledge, and techniques I have developed to help others in their time of need seems like a superpower to me."
