Joseph Rosas graduated with a BS in Molecular Biology with a minor in Human Development from UC San Diego in March 2018. He now works in Megan Dennis’ lab, which studies the effects of human-specific duplicated genes and how they play a role in development of neurocognitive disorders. Joseph examines how chromatin structure is differentially organized across fetal development for neural tissue of Rhesus macaques. Prior to PREP, he conducted research as an IMSD Scholar at UC San Diego, investigating conditional cytokine expression using a mouse model of sepsis.
