Elizabeth A. Whitchurch
Post-doctoral researcher
email Liz

Liz is a recent graduate from the Takahashi Lab. A brilliant researcher and a beloved teacher, she is now working at the Terry Takahashi and Bill Richards labs as a post-doctoral researcher. Her hard work and gregariousness have provided a strong framework for the lab for a while now, her departure will leave a void that'll be hard to fill.
