Charlotte was a student in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics (BMB) graduate group at Penn in the lab from August 2016 to October 2022. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2016 with a B.S. in biology and minors in both chemistry and physics. In addition to her passion for science, Charlotte enjoys photography, solving crosswords, and exploring Philadelphia. In 2019, Charlotte was awarded a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). Charlotte defended her Ph.D. thesis 'Engineering Karyopherin-β2 to disaggregate ALS-associated proteins' in October 2022. Charlotte went on to pursue her post-doc with Jeff Rothstein at Johns Hopkins.
