Caitlin is a Senior Research Associate working in the Franco lab, and an RBI Informatics Fellow. As part of the Franco lab, her research focuses on how cell diversity is achieved in the developing brain. In particular, she is interested in the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways that drive stem cells in the dorsal forebrain toward an oligodendrocyte fate. As an RBI Informatics Fellow, Caitlin is interested in bringing together recent developments in next generation sequencing and lineage tracing technologies to further investigate cell fate specification, determination, and lineage progression in a variety of biological systems. Caitlin earned her B.A. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Neuroscience from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2012, and her Ph.D. in Cell Biology, Stem Cells and Development from the University of Colorado Anschutz in 2019. She loves Denver and the Colorado mountains, and enjoys hiking, running, baking, and gardening in her free time.
