Biography
During her education at University of Iowa, Betsy conducted research in a pediatric neurology laboratory under Dr. Alexander Bassuk, PhD, MD. There, she characterized the phenotype of heterogeneous and homogenous mutations in the PRICKLE1 and PRICKLE2 in mice and piloted genetic mutation discovery using whole exome sequencing. She also worked with Dr. Edward Sander, PhD in the biomedical engineering department, performing tensile tests on mouse skin. At Georgia Tech, she was awarded the Biomaterials Training Grant (NIH T32) and thus completed semester-long projects in the Babensee (BME), Taite (ChemE), and Botchwey (BME) laboratories before officially joining the Sulchek Laboratory in Fall 2013.
