Dr. Tom Andersson knows how to recognize a good opportunity when he sees one. His work both in Sweden and internationally has taken him through several research institutes and businesses, giving him the chance to work in a variety of fields, ranging from research for governmental commissions to information consulting for a media and advertising company. His work in Stanford involved his second Show more... Ph.D. in mathematical statistics to complement his first in cognitive science. Dr. Andersson contacted Dr. Goodman when he read about her work with thermosensation and came to the lab in order to help to model thermosensitivity in C. elegans. His hope is to continue learning about a phenomenon that has always intrigued him: the way a purely disordered energy such as heat is sensed and becomes meaningful information to our brains, letting us know if we are near things that are hot or cold. Dr. Andersson is quickly and happily sensing that the hot California weather agrees with him and says he is enjoying the opportunity to work in a place with plenty of sunshine. Show less... |

After coming back to work at the Goodman Lab for his third time upon finishing his major in human biology at UCSD, Tim Lee bid his colleagues adieu in 2009 to start medical school at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Lee’s job as one of the lab’s technicians was to help run experiments, assist researchers in their projects, make sure the lab was in order and keep track of the worm database. After spending Show more...
many hours working in the Goodman Lab and other research labs at UCSD, Lee says he has developed a strong respect for the academic atmosphere and cutting edge research he has been surrounded by, but hopes to one day become a surgeon instead of pursuing a career in research. Having participated in several intermural sports in college including tennis, football and baseball, Lee sees himself one day possibly specializing in sports medicine and working for a sports team.

Misty Montoya

Hometown: San Jose, California
University: San Jose State University
Unlike most of the researchers in the Goodman Lab, Misty Montoya did not grow up knowing that she was interested in a career in science, let alone research. Now, she can’t see herself doing anything else. Montoya’s experience working in psychology and hematology research motivated her to work with C. elegans in order for her to gain training in neuroscience related research. Currently, she is at the University of Pennsylvania Show more... doing a Post-Baccalaureate program working in a neurology lab in the Department of Pediatrics to help her learn the skills she will need for her future goal of attaining an MD PhD in pediatric neurology and neuroscience. Montoya eventually wants to have her own lab where she would carry out research on autism. Her personal experiences helping take care of her autistic brother motivated Montoya to get a BA in psychology to learn more about developmental disorders. She hopes that in her lifetime, she will be able to contribute to either, and ideally both, finding the cause and cure for autism. Show less... |
