Bio
Iván Olaya graduated with a BS in Genetics and Genomics from UC Davis on June 2017. He currently works in the Burgess lab, which studies homologous chromosome pairing and segregation during meiosis using yeast and zebrafish. Iván is investigating whether homologous chromosomes in zebrafish can still pair without formation of the synaptonemal complex.
