About Claire

I earned my PhD from Portland State University in December 2017 in the Podrabsky lab studying the role of small non-coding RNAs in extreme vertebrate anoxia tolerance. Currently I am a research fellow at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in the Anderson Lab where my work focuses on stress granules and small ncRNAs in a comparative cellular stress response context.

My graduate work was funded by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, an NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant, and an NSF Graduate Research Opportunities Worldwide grant. My postdoctoral work has been supported by an NIH F32 postdoctoral fellowship award and currently by an NIH MOSAIC K99 award award.
