Our Wonderful Team of Advisors



Advisors

Michael Lynch


Michael Lynch MD, PhD is a rather attractive assistant professor of both Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. He received both his Ph.D and M.D. at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He always wears a blue lab coat and smiles with his perfect white teeth at everything, even when lab plans go awry. His research focuses on modifying bacterial pathways to produce chemicals essential for applications such as pharmacology and industry.

Adim Moreb


Adim is a Ph.D. student in the Biomedical Engineering department. He joined the Lynch lab in 2015. His work focuses on improving the speed and efficiency of genome engineering in bacteria.

John Decker


John is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Originally from middle Tennessee, he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he earned a B.S. in Neuroscience and conducted research on eye movements and stereoscopic vision in humans. Outside of school and the lab, John enjoys the outdoors, literature, and fencing, and also holds a private pilot's license.

Mentors

Johnathon Burg


Jonathan obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry with Prof. Dewey G. McCafferty at Duke University concentrating his research efforts on the kinetic and biophysical characterization of KDM1A. In the Lynch Lab, Jonathan is focused on the engineering of a dynamic metabolic engineering platform for yeast, including aspects of both strain and bioprocess development.

Zhixia Ye


Zhixia was born in China and got her Ph.D. in Chemistry from NC State in 2014. She enjoys reading and traveling in her free time. Zhixia has been leading efforts aimed at developing a dynamic metabolic engineering platform in the bacterium E. coli. Zhixia's work is leading to sustainable processes for the production of numerous chemicals, natural products and natural product derivatives.

Charlie Cooper


John is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Originally from middle Tennessee, he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he earned a B.S. in Neuroscience and conducted research on eye movements and stereoscopic vision in humans. Outside of school and the lab, John enjoys the outdoors, literature, and fencing, and also holds a private pilot's license.

Jennifer Hennigan


Adim is a Ph.D. student in the Biomedical Engineering department. He joined the Lynch lab in 2015. His work focuses on improving the speed and efficiency of genome engineering in bacteria.

Romel Menacho-Melgar


John is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Originally from middle Tennessee, he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he earned a B.S. in Neuroscience and conducted research on eye movements and stereoscopic vision in humans.
