Jason Millington has joined as a postdoc in the O’Brien and Huang labs. He obtained his Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology from the University of British Columbia in Canada in 2021. In his thesis, he studied the mechanisms underlying sex differences in growth during development in Drosophila, with a particular focus on how dietary nutrition differentially affects growth in males and females. He joined Stanford co-supervised between the O’Brien and Huang labs in October 2021. His research focuses on investigating how the cells of the gut interact with gut microbes.
