I earned a BS from the Univ. of Arizona and a PhD from Duke Univ. before moving to The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, UK for postdoctoral research. I moved back to Tucson to begin my own laboratory in 2010 and recently relocated to Oxford University.
Outside of science, I enjoy singing, baking, reading, and time with my family.
Tim Kendall
Senior Research Specialist
I love the lab. Ever since I saw Colin Clive as Dr. Frankenstein, I wanted to be a mad scientist. Outside interests are hiking, reading and cooking.
