Rebecca DeFeo

Rebecca is our Lab Manager. Before joining us, she worked for Brigham and Women's Hospital, gaining experience in biological-sample handling with the BWH/Harvard Cohorts Biorepository. Since joining us, Rebecca has been assigned to develop an in-house "DIY Mag-bead DNA Extraction" protocol, in order to keep DNA extractions, from both whole blood and dry blood spots, at a low cost per sample. She has also become the point person for operating both our Opentrons OT-2 robot as well as our Minion Nanopore sequencing.

Outside of the lab, Rebecca enjoys staying active, cooking, fishing and golfing!
