Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmily Meier is a PhD candidate and marine molecular biologist with a decade of lab and field experience studying cnidarian–algal symbioses and the genetic bases of host recognition using RNAi and CRISPR-Cas9 in the Aiptasia model. Trained at Oregon State (Honors B.S., Magna Cum Laude) and currently at Johns Hopkins’ Cleves Laboratory, she blends rigorous assay development skills honed in industry settings (including sequencing assay work at Roche and CRISPR diagnostic efforts at UC Berkeley) with ecological and conservation-focused research. Her work bridges basic cell biology and applied conservation, aiming to reveal conserved mechanisms that could inform coral resilience strategies under climate stress. A dedicated mentor and award-winning teacher, she also brings practical expertise in molecular techniques, microfluidic assay implementation, and translating bench discoveries into scalable, field-relevant solutions.
