David Garcia opened a lab at the University of Oregon at the beginning of 2019. The lab studies epigenetics and RNA chemical modifications using a variety of approaches.
Julia Widom earned her B.A. in Chemistry from Northwestern University in 2009. She did her graduate work at the University of Oregon in the lab of Andy Marcus, earning her Ph.D. in 2013. From 2014 to 2018, she worked as a postdoc in the lab of Nils Walter at the University of Michigan. She returned to UO as a faculty member in the Physical Chemistry division in September, 2018. Her lab uses ultrafast and single-molecule spectroscopy to study RNA structure and dynamics.
