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 relocated to Oxford University in 2024.
Outside of science, I enjoy singing, baking, reading, and time with my family.
Robyn Emmerson
Postdoctoral Researcher
Biology has always been one of my favourite subjects, getting to do it every day and understand our planet just a little bit better is a dream. Outside of science I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, and exploring new places.
