Erin Huggins

I entered the Molecular Genetics and Microbiology program in 2024 and rotated through the San Roman, Crawford, and Kishnani labs during my first year. Each rotation was a wonderful learning experience and at the end of my third rotation, I opted for a co-mentorship between Dr. Gregory Crawford and Dr. Priya Kishnani.
