Shaolin Li M.Sc.

shaolin.li@mail.mcgill.ca

Shaolin joined the Roy lab as a Master student. After he finished his degree, he remained in the lab as a research assistant. He is particularly interested in how AMPK regulates L1 worm diapause, as well as new lab techniques to improve experimental efficiency.

Graduate students

Sabih Rashid
Ph.D. student
sabih.rashid@mail.mcgill.ca

Sabih completed his Master’s degree in Biochemistry at McMaster University. He joined the Roy lab in September 2019 as a Ph.D. student. His project focuses on understanding how AMPK regulates small RNAs during the dauer stage. In particular, he is interested in how AMPK interacts with components of RNA interference pathways during the dauer stage, how changes in small RNA populations impact fertility and health in AMPK-deficient worms, and how these effects are transgenerationally inherited.

Christopher Wong
Ph.D. student
christopher.wong8@mail.
mcgill.ca

Christopher completed his B.Sc. in biochemistry at McGill University. He joined the Roy lab in January 2018 as an undergraduate student and is continuing his research as a Ph.D. student. His project focuses on how the neurons regulate the germ line during the dauer stage in AMPK-deficient C. elegans.
