Julie Cheung - Research Scientist II
B.S. Biochemistry, University of Arizona, 2014.
M.S. Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2018.
Julie is now attending University of Wisconsin-Madison working towards a Ph.D. in Biochemistry.
I attended the University of Arizona with a major in Biochemistry and a minor in Chinese. I joined the lab January 2013 and helped with plant cultivation and transformation for a project focused on the evolution of the POT1 gene family in Brassicaceae. I am interested in the evolution of telomeres and the telomere enzyme, telomerase. Recently, I started a project focusing on variability in telomerase processivity across different plant families.
Outside of lab I volunteer at St. Mary's Hospital with the nurses and in the gift shop. I also take part in numerous clubs on campus including Project Sunshine, Flying Samaritans, CBC Mentoring program and CBC ambassadors. I enjoy interaction with a variety of people and the chance to gain and give knowledge to each person. Personally I love to read, sing, cook and just try new things.
