Brooke E. Jeffery
PhD Candidate


Brooke is a PhD candidate in the MSU Integrative Biology and Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior (EEB) programs. In 2021, she joined us from the Medical College of Wisconsin, where she worked as a laboratory technician generating zebrafish models of human diseases. Before, Brooke obtained a B.S. in Biological Sciences from Marquette University, Milwaukee. Brooke is interested in the gene regulatory basis of neural crest development and evolution and is co-advised by Julia Ganz. Brooke has a special green thumb, taking care of a house full of plants at home.
