Graduate Students

María José (Majo) Salazar Nicholls entered the Warkentin Lab as a PhD student in 2018, after a STRI-REU project on the development of red-eyed treefrog hatching ability in 2016. Her research focuses on the mechanisms underlying the precise temporal and spatial control of hatching enzyme release in red-eyed treefrogs, with comparative work on hatching mechanisms in other frogs. María José did her BSc at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador (PUCE), where she did her senior thesis research with Eugenia del Pino and worked in the developmental biology laboratory of Andres Romero Carvajal after graduation.
