Dr. Adriana Dawes
Principal Investigator
Dr Dawes is trained as a mathematician, with a B.Sc.(Hons) from the University of Toronto in Mathematics and Physics, followed by an M.Sc. and Ph.D in Applied Mathematics from the Institute of Applied Mathematics, University of British Columbia. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington's Center for Cell Dynamics and three years as the Max Wyman Assistant Professor in Mathematical Biology at the University of Alberta's Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Dr. Dawes joined the faculty at The Ohio State University with a joint appointment in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Molecular Genetics. When she is not writing grants, Dr. Dawes enjoys splitting her time between theoretical and wet lab work and discovering the many ways proteins can form patterns in the cell.
David Ignacio
Postdoctoral Fellow
David graduated from California State University San Marcos with his B.Sc. in Biotechnology in 2014. After which, he was accepted into the interdisciplinary MCDB graduate program at The Ohio State University. His current research in the Dawes Lab aims to investigate the role of cortical proteins in pronuclear complex dynamics during the initial polarization of the worm zygote.
