Lucy Shapiro
Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsA basic question in developmental biology involves the mechanisms used to generate the three-dimensional organization of a cell from a one-dimensional genetic code. Our goal is to define these mechanisms using both molecular genetics and biochemistry.

John Paul Statz
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioI am fascinated by many aspects of our world, grateful to have a chance to poke around and see how some of it works. Born and raised in Minnesota, first generation college student. A genetics course late in my undergraduate studies set me on the path toward scientific research, and I hope to help inspire that same curiosity in the next generation. My research interests center on genetics, development, reproduction, and the interactions between animals and microbes. Outside of the lab, I spend most of my time with daughter and wife, cooking and baking, walking in nature, and biking around town.

William Talbot
Mary and Dr. Salim Shelby Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe use genetic and cellular approaches to investigate the molecular basis of glial development and myelination in the zebrafish.

Carolyn Turcotte
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioCarolyn Turcotte is a postdoctoral fellow in the Villeneuve lab that studies meiotic homolog pairing using an interspecies hybrid model system. She earned her PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she worked in Jeff Sekelsky's lab and studied spontaneous meiotic nondisjunction in Drosophila.

Hannah Vicars
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioHannah Vicars (she/her) is a Propel Postdoctoral Scholar in Dr. Margaret Fuller’s lab in the Department of Developmental Biology. Hannah is fascinated by how cells make "decisions", particularly the molecular circuitry that controls how cells transition from a dividing state to becoming specialized cell types. She earned her B.S. and Ph.D. in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, under the mentorship of Dr. William Sullivan. Hannah emphasized equitable and inclusive teaching when she served as the instructor-of-record for multiple upper- and lower-division biology courses at UC Santa Cruz and Foothill Community College. Throughout her academic career, she has mentored underrepresented students across undergraduate and graduate mentorship programs. When she is not conducting research or teaching, Hannah can be found tending to her vegetable garden, going on runs with her dogs, or playing Dungeons & Dragons.
