They're pretty clever, too....

Rebecca (Becky) Mosher
Associate Director and University of Arizona Distinguished Scholar
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.
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.

Tania Chakraborty
PhD Candidate
My research in the Mosher lab focuses on evolution of RdDM components, as well as attempting to understand the function of polymerase subunits. Outside of the lab, I love to read books and explore the natural beauty and food of Tucson.
