Lisa N. Petrella, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Department of Biological Sciences
Marquette University
Dr. Petrella received her BS in Molecular Biology from Juniata College. She did her Ph.D. in the genetics and development of Drosophila oogenesis under the direction of Dr. Lynn Cooley at Yale University. Her postdoctoral studies move into the regulation of gene expression in C. elegans under the direction of Dr. Susan Strome at UC Santa Cruz.
