In the Bailey Lab, Claire is working on developing and optimizing microfluidic devices to perform biological assays at a single-cell scale. One of her projects will look into the mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance in yeast cells. The other will enable us to study the impacts of therapeutics on extracellular vesicle (EV) formation from NK cells.
