Taylor Marohl is a PhD student in Dr. Kevin Janes' Lab.

Q: Where did you go for your undergradate degree, and what did you study?

I grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin and studied biomedical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Q: What is something that you like about your research?

I study a signaling pathway that is dysregulated in breast cancer, and how heterogeneity influences the effects of that dysregulation. I enjoy that my research is motivated by computational studies – and my wet-lab results will motivate more computational studies. It’s cool to see experimental and computational work inform one another.

Q: What do you like to do when you aren't working on research?

I love being outdoors – hiking, backpacking, kayaking, and downhill skiing are my favorites. I also enjoy cooking, baking (see below), and tending my little succulent collection.

Q: What is a food you enjoy?

Chocolate. Pretty much any dessert, but my go-to is brown butter chocolate chip cookies (feel free to reach out if you want the recipe)
