Ruojun Wang, Ph.D.

Postdoctoral Associate

Ruojun grew up in Shanghai and graduated from Fudan University before moving to NYC for graduate school at Weill Cornell Medicine in 2012. She joined the Ehrt lab in 2013 as a Ph.D. student and is currently a postdoctoral associate. Her research focuses on the microbial and host components that facilitate the persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the body. Outside of the lab, Ruojun enjoys traveling and taking photos of squirrels in Central Park.

Jeanette Sutherland, Ph.D.

Research Associate

Jeanette Sutherland completed her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at New York Medical College. She studied the repair mechanism of stabilized bacterial topoisomerase I cleavage complexes as part of an overall strategy to develop antibacterial drugs targeting topoisomerase I. 

She joined the Holloman lab in July of 2011 and is currently working on how homologous recombination functions in DNA repair to maintain genomic stability.
